    • Michael rides a trike bike
    Michael works on a landscaping crew at the Air National Guard Base at Point Mugu. Just learning to ride the bike was a self-esteem booster for him but using the bike to expedite equipment and supplies to job sites has increased the crew's efficiency and has really given Michael a sense of pride in his work.
