I am a 100% disabled OIF/OEF veteran with TBI , Spinal injury, and Nerve damage, and i have been told that this would be a great way to get some much needed excersize with out doing any more damage. I contacted a group called Angel Bikes but they have never responded so any help anyone can give me would be much appreciated.

I am a member of the WWP. They referred me to Angel Bikes.org I submitted the application last year and sent them a couple of E-Mails and never got a response. they haven't updated their web page since 2015. WWP told me to start a GoFundMe to buy one. That produced zero results.

See your hospital's Recreation Therapist to procure a recumbent trike. Depending on where you live the VA pays for a trike. You need to live near bike paths so you can regularly ride.

Go to AMBUCS.org You will need to complete the paper work and I suspect you will be put on a waiting list

Founded in 2008, Project Hero is a groundbreaking national non-profit organization dedicated to helping Veterans and First Responders affected by PTSD, TBI and injury achieve rehabilitation, recovery, and resilience in their daily lives and increasing awareness to combat the national mental health emergency posed by PTSD and TBI.

Project Hero programs including Ride 2 Recovery events and Project Hero HUB Community Centers produce positive outcomes at lower costs and reduce drug-based therapies. The organization also builds and provides adaptive bikes to physically-challenged and injured Veterans and First Responders and founded the Project Hero Institute for Mental Health to support clinical research programs in 2016.

https://www.arkansasfreedomfund.org/ helps Arkansas veterans get donated trikes or bikes.
I started riding a recumbent trike 4 months ago because my doctor said she was going to put me on insulin. Now my blood sugar is in the normal range and riding the trike is fun and healthy.
