What is Soldier Ride?
Soldier Ride, an initiative of the Wounded Warrior Project, honors and empowers this generation of our country's brave military service members who were wounded in combat. Soldier Ride is a series of one-day cycling events held across the country. Service members are provided with customized riding equipment based on their particular needs. These adaptive cycling events are a unique way to honor our military men and women as they courageously battle the physical and psychological damages of war.
Through the excitement of cycling, our wounded service members realize the many possibilities for their future in a supportive environment with fellow wounded warriors.
GEICO Gets Involved

"Since our beginnings, the men and women who serve our military have held a special place in GEICO's heart and history. We are proud to show them our continued gratitude and support." GEICO's support goes beyond sponsorship with ride participation in these events — at all levels of the company. "As we rode along, folks in the community came out of their homes and waved flags and cheered for the warriors," said Rynthia Rost, vice president of public affairs. "I felt proud that these men and women had been cherished in this way."
