Amarillo Palo Duro AMBUCS

The primary mission of Amarillo Palo Duro AMBUCS is to award Amtryke therapeutic tricycles to individuals who are unable to operate traditional bicycles. Our goal is to provide people in need with all the classic benefits of riding a bike, such as mobility, increased strength, exercise, improved coordination, interaction with family and friends, and just pure fun! Physical and occupational therapist clinicians often use Amtrykes to help provide an age appropriate, safe, and dynamic modality for improving balance, coordination, and strength. Riding the trykes may also help build endurance and self-confidence. 

The Amtryke Therapeutic Tricycle Program is about abilities, not disabilities. Amtrykes are highly adjustable foot trykes, hand trykes, and hand and food trykes in a wide range of sizes with a myriad of adaptive accessories. They are designed to look like bikes, not medical equipment, and to be age appropriate. Nearly every rider can be successful, no matter their diagnosis, through our full line of highly adjustable trykes . 

Our mission also includes awarding scholarships to students at Amarillo College, WTAMU, or Texas Tech Health Science Center who plan to pursue careers in physical, occupational, or speech therapy. Our members are also involved in various forms of community service and charitable giving. 

The Amarillo Palo Duro AMBUCS chapter is part of a larger nonprofit service organization consisting of a diverse group of men and women who are ready to make a difference in their respective communities.
