Title: Bike adaptor
Post by: rosscrazyelk on January 17, 2014, 08:38:38 PM

I do not need to hear any input on legality but I am curious if anyone has ever made something for your bike to ride railroad tracks?
I found a magical place a couple years ago and want to ride my bike in there figure it would be easier and faster by rail.
Thanks

It must have been done quite a bit years ago, because I remember seeing a picture of a bike rigged up for riding the railroad tracks.  It had an outrigger sort of thing to reach across to the other rail for stability and to keep it "on track".  :dunno:

I looked into this some years ago, I seem to remember several companies making an outrigger for bicyles riding the rails. Seemed like a pretty good idea.

I don't really think it would be too hard to make one.
