Dear Friends of Western Wisconsin Wheels,

Western Wisconsin Wheels, a chapter of AMBUCS, has had the honor and privilege over the last 10 years to serve our community by helping to connect those in need to the joy and freedom of riding an adaptive bicycle.  We have grown from one or two therapists helping our patients to an organization helping to fund purchases, caring for, and fitting bikes. Western Wisconsin Wheels has connected well over 100 bikes to patients and in the process we have come to know you as friends and colleagues.   

As life circumstances allow growth and change to individuals; so too must we change and adapt to the landscape as an organization.  After considerable thought, discussion, and tears, we have decided to close this chapter in our lives and close WWW as an organization.  We remain dedicated to our patients and helping each of them to find the joy and freedom of riding, but we'll not be doing it as an organization. 

This was a very difficult decision for us but each of us feel that it is the best decision for our patients and our families. We are confident that there are other organizations and agencies that can successfully continue this effort to connect those with disabilities with the joy and fun of riding! We have donated our tryke/bike inventory to APTIV and STAR Center La Crosse. 

Through Aptiv (http://www.aptiv.org/), families will be able to check out and use the adaptive trykes. The STAR Center (https://starcenterlacrosse.org) will have several larger adaptive bikes and will use them in their programming. 

We encourage families to work with their individual health care professionals (PT, OT, MD, etc) to meet their needs.

Each of our patients has served as an inspiration to us and we look forward to seeing you on the trails and roadways!!
