Railbiking is popping up everywhere. This four-wheeled open-air activity on abandoned railroad tracks or tracks set aside for heritage rail service is gaining steam (pun intended). This pedal-powered activity is one that most anyone can do and that rewards fun-loving riders with sensational views across glistening lakes, verdant forests, rolling pastures and sandy shorelines.
Railbikes have a side-by-side recumbent style design with foot pedals and a handbrake. Some even have eco-friendly electric pedal-assist capabilities. There’s no need to think about steering or balancing with a railbike. All you need to do is pedal. This way you can be hands-free and able to take all the photos you like of picturesque landscapes as you glide across the railway tracks.
