Cycle Therapy
This is what Wheels 4 Warriors is all about. To be considered for this program, candidates complete an Application, scan and send it to us. You will participate in an interview with Chapter members. If accepted, the Veteran receives Nevada-required license training, a used but serviceable dealer-certified motorcycle and protective gear. The Veteran provides the time, effort, attitude and desire to do some cycle therapy, at first with a Mentor, then with a group and finally solo. We are now have presented our fourth motorcycle. BUT! If you know of a serviceable bike, or one that can be made serviceable with a little work, please reach out to us. Obviously, we will need your financial support to make this happen. On our Donate page, indicate that your tax-deductible gift is designated for the Wheels 4 Warrior Project. Do you know a veteran in the greater Las Vegas area who could use a motorcycle to help get their head on straight? Please contact us if you wish more information. |

During those deployments, he worked with international military services, serving with distinction and earning the Bronze Star and the Combat Action Badge. Congratulations, Adam and Welcome Home!

Those who ride know how good motorcycling is for the soul. Riding requires total focus, situational awareness, keeps your head on a swivel. When we ride, many of the things that weigh so heavily on our minds slip away for a moment, permitting us to concentrate on the riding. After the ride is over, we may find the clarity to focus on other challenges and sometimes find pathways to solutions.
