Wayne s Story Since the inception of the Veteran Initiative through National AMBUCS, Greenebucs has embraced it by giving close to 50 Veteran bikes to local veterans.

Pat Buckholt and Devlynn Tanner attended two Stand Down Events in Dayton last year.

4 Wayne s Story Since the inception of the Veteran Initiative through National AMBUCS, Greenebucs has embraced it by giving close to 50 Veteran bikes to local veterans. This was done by collaborating with either the Dayton VA or the Volunteers of America which is an organization serving homeless veterans. Pat Buckholt and Devlynn Tanner attended two Stand Down Events in Dayton last year. These events provide opportunities for area homeless veterans such as job fairs, haircuts, food, and other resources. One of these veterans was Wayne. Wayne is an Army veteran who was disabled through two non-war related accidents required multiple joint replacements. Leaving the Army because of his disabilities he found himself divorced, battling homelessness, alcoholism and he was significantly overweight. After several years he pulled his life together, enrolled in college and has maintained sobriety. Because of these problems Wayne never dreamt he would have a chance to own a tryke, but with little hope he applied anyhow. With the challenge of finding a bike that would support Wayne and address his disabilities, Sean Reeder of Faast Cycles was contacted. Sean researched and found a recumbent bike that would work for Wayne. Because of the nature of his disabilities he requested an electric motor to augment his hips and knees as they falter. The bike was ordered and built. Wayne stopped by, tried it out and took it home. I just want to say thank you to everyone and to this organization that has made this possible for me. I can not only get out and have more quality time with my family, but this particular three wheeled bike even gives me a lot more mobility at places I couldn t go before, like flea markets and bike trails.
