Adaptive BikeShare Program
In our continued effort to ensure the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail is enjoyable and accessible to all, Lackawanna Heritage Valley launched their Adaptive Bike Rideshare Program in the spring of 2018.
This new venture offers hand cycles and recumbent bikes to wheelchair-bound riders and people with mobility impairments, so that they may enjoy the sport of cycling and making use of the trail.
The fleet of adaptive bikes include two recumbent bicycles, designed for people with balance impairments, and three hand cycles that allow riders to peddle with their arms.
These specialty bikes are oftentimes prohibitively expensive, but they are offered to residents and visitors of Lackawanna County free-of-charge through the new LHVA program.
The bikes are currently stored at the Lackawanna Heritage Valley's main office on Railroad Avenue in Scranton and are available by appointment only throughout the 2022 season.
