NORCAL TRYKERS Providing mobility to children with disabilities.
A Northern California nonprofit volunteer organization providing custom, adaptive tricycles to children with disabilities.
Our Mission
Helping Kids With Disabilities Become Mobile By Providing Therapeutic Tricycles
NorCal Trykers is a nonprofit organization created for the sole purpose of providing, at no cost, customized therapeutic tricycles to children with disabilities. Our mission is to provide mobility, exercise, confidence and a sense of normalcy to the lives of these children in the greater Sacramento area of Northern California. NorCal Trykers is a chapter of National AMBUCS, Inc. which is located in North Carolina.
Each Amtryke is custom-made and custom-fit for the child's disability.
The ability to ride a bike is often not a reality for children with physical or developmental challenges. Properly balanced and safely supported, almost any child can ride an Amtryke. They are designed to address the varied needs of any individual with disabilities.
The opportunity to ride a tryke helps to build important physical and life skills.
Proven to build motor skills, strength and self esteem.
Trykes help kids be kids!
It is fun to ride and offers the child the chance for age appropriate inclusive play with peers and family.

The Zombies Are Coming
Hello all you ghosties! It’s time to dust off your skeletons and unpack your costumes for the annual Zombie Bike Parade Festival in Davis on Sunday, Oct. 26. Our intrepid Trykers along with families and friends can join the community festivities, including a parade, games and entertainment.
Making this possible are our festival organizers Davis Odd Fellows and the Bike Campaign-- who, along with many local business and individual sponsors, have raised some $40,000 for NorCal Trykers over the past six years.
Let’s use the power of the pedal and show them our ghoulish appreciation.
Trykers meet at 12:30 p.m. in front of Holmes Junior High, 1220 Drexel Drive, Davis, and continue to Community Park. Trykers, watch your email for even more information regarding our special appearance that day. We want to make this the best and biggest Tryker parade ever!
