The Convergence of Trail and Rail: RAILBIKES!

Imagine gliding along on ribbons of steel, through breathtaking open space, enjoying the pristine air, the abundant wildlife, and the silence. Your ride is as smooth as glass - and there's no traffic. Your hands are free to take pictures or enjoy your lunch. Your path is never steep. Where there's a hill, you go around it, or through a tunnel. Sound like a cyclist's dream? You're not dreaming - you're RAILBIKING!

For more than 100 years people worldwide have been enjoying the sport of railbiking. The 1908 Sears catalog offered a railbike attachment for $5.45. In Europe today there are dozens of active railbike rental facilities using abandoned railroads.
