Railbiking In The 1980's railbiking in the State of Wisconsin in the 1980 s was rewarding and hazardous at the same time. There was plenty of abandoned or about to be abandoned http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,1269824

Extractions: The other night I sat awake in bed, too excited to sleep, intently studying the maps of abandoned railroads spread all around me. "Look, honey, look!" I said to my sleeping wife. "According to this, there's 210 miles of the Colorado midland abandoned east of Glenwood Springs. We could railbike up and over the Continental Divide! Or here, look Nevada! there's 60 miles abandoned between Flanigan and Fernley. We could breakfast in Flanigan and have lunch in Fernley. We could . . . [flipping pages] . . . pedal clear across Nebraska!" That got her. A bilious eye opened. "Why?" she asked. No cars can enter here. From railway to the dried-up stream below is a drop of 1,000 feet. To negotiate the gorge the builders added 17 tunnels and a wooden trestle 633 feet long and 185 feet high. It is a railbiker's paradise, and missing it would be a crying shame. That's what I would have told my wife if she hadn't fallen back to sleep.
Adirondack The letter titled Adirondack railbiking, came from a Dick Bentley of Tupper Lake, We went on a thirty something mile railbike ride on the Adirondack http://therbfamily.homestead.com/adirondack.html
Extractions: M y curiosity was piqued when I saw an article/letter in the 2nd quarter 1996 issue of the "Railbike International Messenger." The letter titled "Adirondack Railbiking," came from a Dick Bentley of Tupper Lake, New York. The Adirondacks were where my family went camping almost every year when I was a child. I just remembered the smell of the pines and the beautiful mountains as I rode in the back of my dad's '56 Chevy station wagon. Driving to Big Moose, which basically is a railroad station surrounded by a bunch of summer cottages, I asked the manager of the restaurant in the station if I could park for a few days in his lot to go on a "bike tour". He said "No, but there's a parking lot for a trail head right around the corner." I parked "Wally", my big green van, in this lot, unloaded the railbike and gear and pushed the bike to the rails. I wanted to be as discreet as possible and got the bike ready out of view of the station.

Extractions: See, there were 3 trees in the garden. 2 of them were ours, and the one, the tree of knowledge of good and evil (dualism) was forbidden, because we didnt need it. The serpent did not lie, just used the truth to his advantage. We did become more like God in that we gained a judgmental responsibility. But the proper way to do that is to recognize the opposing sides as different aspects of the same thing, not two irreconcilable things. So, once we created knowledge of good and evil, black and white, good and bad, in ourselves, we needed two different forces to attribute these sides with. Subject: Railbiking maximusotter
Riding The Rails By Bike Okay, if you re like me always on the lookout for a new thrill then railbiking sounds just loopy enough to demand it be tried. But you re thinking, http://savvytraveler.publicradio.org/show/features/1999/19990904/bike.shtml
Extractions: Culture Watch Question of the Week Letters of the Week ... Host's View Here's a new one for the athletically inclined tourist: in the foothills of Mt. Rainier National Park in Washington State, you can now literally ride the rails through forests and valleys by pumping the pedals of a jerry-rigged bicycle. It travels, like a rollercoaster car down OR like a highwire act, on top of the tracks. It's called "railbiking." The Savvy Traveler's Tom Banse was game and sent these impressions. Ride the Rails by Bike by Tom Banse Listen with RealAudio Need audio help? Okay, if you're like me always on the lookout for a new thrill then railbiking sounds just loopy enough to demand it be tried. But you're thinking, what about the trains? A good question, because as railbike entrepeneur Michael Rohde acknowledges, "One train can ruin your whole day." Michael: "The Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad has two routes that they run. During the day, we can run groups on the opposite piece of rail that they're using. We're always in contact with the conductor and with the shop. We have cell phones, all kinds of things to make sure the communication is there." Rohde has handcrafted a fleet of railbikes by buying eight department store mountain bikes and bolting on guidewheels and outriggers. The front wheel rolls securely in place over one rail with the outrigger attached to the other. The safety lecture for newcomers like me is short.

Sometimes all of that, sometimes just one or two. While I've walked rails I've never ever seen it done with a setup like that.

I've started using the dogs to pull me on a skate board and I've seen off road skate boards, but their pretty expensive, so I'll have to see how well they adapt to on road before dishing out that kind of money.
