From a press release:

The Lackawanna Heritage Valley’s group bike rides on the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail in Scranton were so popular in June that organizers have decided to continue the series in July.

Group rides will be held on Wednesdays, July 12, 19, and 26, weather permitting. Riders should meet in the parking lot of the Valley Community Library (739 River St., Peckville) at 6 p.m.

Led by LHV volunteer Ken Leibold, the group will ride along the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail to Jermyn and back. The ride is expected to last about an hour. There is no fee to participate, but riders should bring their own bicycles. Cyclists of all skill levels are welcome.

Ken Leibold is a volunteer with 15 years of bicycling experience in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. He is an experienced bicycle mechanic and has rebuilt bikes into custom bikes. Leibold has owned up to 30 bikes, including road, mountain, recumbent, tandem bikes, and trikes. In his spare time, he enjoys leading group rides on the trail.
