Community awareness event/adaptive ride: Individual Abilities in Motion, a Scranton-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities, in collaboration with the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority will host the Bike Buddy Community Awareness Event and Adaptive Ride on April 25 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority office, 213 Railroad Ave., Scranton. The event, free and open to the public, is designed to introduce community members — particularly those living with mobility impairments, balance issues, visual impairments or other physical disabilities — to the range of adaptive cycling equipment available through I AM’s Bike Buddy Program. Attendees can view and try the equipment, speak with trained volunteers and sign up for a personalized Bike Buddy session on the trail. There will be an appearance by Rifton, a manufacturer of adaptive mobility equipment, who will bring one of their adapted tricycles for attendees to explore. Rifton Trikes are engineered for children and teens who can’t use a standard bicycle. Other adaptive equipment will also be on display. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP by Wednesday at individualabilities.org/events/ to assist with event coordination, though walk-ins are welcome.
