​Bike Buddy Community Awareness Event

Join us for a Bike Buddy Program community awareness event. We are excited to continue this initiative in collaboration with the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority (LHVA), expanding upon their already existing Bike Share program. Utilizing the Bike Buddy Program, individuals are able to sign up for an appointment where a volunteer will help the individual and a buddy become more comfortable with using the adaptive cycling equipment available through the Bike Share program.

This year we are excited to have Rifton joining us for the event and bring one of their adapted tricycle for people to check out. Rifton Trikes are designed for children and teens who can't use a standard bike, making independent mobility possible. Their cycles have numerous features designed to make it as comfortable and accessible as possible. They include things like a supportive backrest, easy step through access, adjustable pedals, and variable resistance.

We encourage you to come to this event to learn more about the programs and check out all of the equipment that is available. There are handcycles, recumbent cycles, tandem cycles, and more. We will have volunteers on hand to go over the equipment options. They can also assist with going for a short ride, if you'd like, and you can sign up for a Bike Buddy session while you're there. Assistance will be available. There is no cost to attend this event and light refreshments will be provided.
