What exactly are railbikes?

Railbikes are pedal-power carts that are ridden on railroad tracks and have the same style as recumbent bikes in the way people sit on them and pedal.

If that sounds interesting to you, there are several places around the country that offer these unique adventures.

Here are a few of those spots where railbike adventures are offered, according to hitraveltales.com. For more detailed information such as complete route and cost of each one, click the links below.
