What is a Rail Explorer?
A rail explorer is a pedal-powered vehicle that rides on railroad tracks. They have 4 steel wheels, hydraulic disc brakes, and pedals for each seat, and are comfortable, fun, and easy to ride. Although the rail explorers require pedaling, the magic of steel wheels on steel rails makes the experience very different from riding a regular bicycle. There is no need to carefully watch the road ahead, there is no need to steer and riding is hands-free - making it easy to take photographs and video as you roll along. You will enjoy a Tandem Rail Explorer (2 seats) with this package at a $98 value.
Pedal-powered rail vehicles date back to at least the 1850's when maintenance workers used hand cars and ?rail bikes? to travel along the tracks. They were used to transport crew and materials for track inspection and repairs. Today, there are a variety of designs in use around the world: the ?Draisine? of Europe; ?rail bikes? with aluminum frames and rubber wheels; and modified road bikes with an outrigger wheel.
