Rail Explorers are low to the ground bikes that ride on train tracks. Lock into the rails where you can be your own conductor. Pedal the bike to give yourself steam, however, this activity is totally hands-free. Take pictures, have a snack or just soak in all the fantastic scenery along the way.

There is no balancing or steering involved unlike in the olden days. The first pedal-powered rail bikes date back to the mid-1800s and were used by maintenance workers to navigate the tracks to make repairs. These current models are the global leader in safety, design, and ease of operation.
