What about trains?
Railbike Tours, Inc. is conducting tours on track controlled by the City of Tacoma through a special agreement. This section of rail is not used by Tacoma Rail at this time. Why railbike?
Riding one is like gliding on a very smooth surface. There is almost no traffic to contend with. You see scenery that is often not accessible by road. Traveling through forest and farmland, railbikes are so quiet wildlife often doesn't know you are there! Where and how can I buy a railbike?

29. Riding The Rails By Bike
It's called railbiking. The Savvy Traveler's Tom Banse was gameand sent these impressions. Ride the Rails by Bike by Tom Banse

Question 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.

CYCLING ON ABANDONED RAILROADS
By Bob Mellin
Imagine gliding along on ribbons of steel, through breathtaking open space, enjoying the pristine air, the abundant wildlife, and the silence. Your ride is as smooth as glass and there's no traffic. Your hands are free to take pictures or en joy your lunch. Your path is never steep. Where there's a hill, you go around it or through a tun nel. Where there's a river, you go over a bridge. Breath deeply relax, enjoy . . .
No, you're not dreaming. You're RAILBIKING!
A hundred years ago, dozens of patents were granted for various contraptions which adapted a common bicycle to ride on railroads. The 1908 Sears catalog offered a railbike attachment for $5.45. But this unique form of cycling never caught on, largely because no one wanted to share the rails with the trains which were far more numerous and active in those days.
But over the years, times have changed and train traffic has diminished. Today over 80,000 miles of track lie abandoned throughout the United States, and another 2,000 miles of rails are abandoned everyyear. Cycling on rail roads no longer has to be ille gal or dangerous.
A new book called "RAILBIKE- Cycling On Abandoned Railroads," written by experienced railbiker Bob Mellin, provides an overview of the history, current status, and predicted future of cycling on the rails. Safety issues are discussed in detail and suggestions for exploring the vast network of abandoned rails are presented. A companion book entitled "RIGHT-OF-WAY - A Guide To Abandoned Railroads" is also available to guide in locating abandoned tracks. State-by-state maps identify abandoned rails and some of the history of the lines and the companies that operated them is included.

B este Air-boy, ’t Was koud, dat is het minste wat je kan zeggen van de zondagmorgen. Mistig ook. Luc had gevraagd aan Dirk om zijn route over te nemen. Zo gezegd zo gedaan. Wat je ook kon zeggen dat het in Dirk zijn hoofd ook nog redelijk mistig was. Hij had er duidelijk plezier in zo af en toe de boys de verkeerde richting uit te sturen. Een keer of 3 lukte hij hierin. Daarna speelde hij op veilig en bleef langs de kanaaloevers. Het viel wel op dat hij niet de kant van het kanaal koos, schrik voor revanche, of was het nog steeds mistig voor zijn ogen? Koen nam meestal het voortouw en zodoende haspelde wij de 87 km af met een gemiddelde van 30,85km/h. Oh ja, in Herentals vernamen we nog dat Salim Segers nen echte toffe vent is, voor diegene die het nog niet wisten.

We gaan eerst even kennis maken met de heuveltjes van Tessenderlo. Om 10:00h wachten de railbikes op ons. Hiermee zullen we ons ongeveer 1,5h mee kunnen bezighouden (rustpauze incluis).

Dinsdag 17 september 2002 B este Air-boy, Zaterdagmorgen, 08:00h stipt. Al de verwachtte Airboys waren paraat. Allemaal? Ja allemaal, behalve Freddy. Er hing nog wel wat mist, maar het was toch helder genoeg om met een zeer grote zekerheid vast te stellen dat Freddy niet in de buurt was. De andere 8 boys stonden te popelen om de pedalen in beweging te zetten en de bandjes te laten warm lopen. Hugo, de chauffeur van dienst, keek goedkeurend toe hoe eerst nog de sporttassen werden weggeborgen en hield goed in het oog waar de boterhammekes worden verstopt. Kwestie van onderweg zeker geen honger te moeten lijden. Er werd gekozen om naar de Voer te rijden via de Jeugdhergbergroute. Even de bordjes volgen en klaar is kees. De kees is in de loop der jaren veranderd in soep, want van de bepijling werd duidelijk een soepje gemaakt. We slaagden er nog in om de route te volgen tot in de buurt van Riemst, en van daaruit werd dan maar richting Visé gevolgd. Dan is het nog maar een boogscheut meer tot in ’s Gravenvoeren. Ondertussen werd al meer dan duidelijk dat we de vlakke wegen achter ons lieten en de opwarming voor de namiddagrit reeds aangevangen was.

INFO on Hiking, Swimming, Boating, Fishing,
and other RECREATIONS around Mount Arab

Most of our guests are family groups, and many of them come back year after year. Some like to hike or bike. Most like to spend at least part of their time swimming in the lake; among them a few who I've rarely seen dry! Others prefer to fish, or canoe. Some folks we almost never see. They use their cabin as a home base, and spend most of their vacation searching out all the wonderful things to do throughout the Adirondacks, and beyond. And, more than a few simply want to lounge around, soaking up the mountain air, and enjoy their freedom from duty, worry, and the other 50 weeks of the year. No matter what your plans, we know you will love Mount Arab. When it comes to BOATING, CANOEING, or SWIMMING, you will not find at better place than our lake front . Immediately at hand, you will find a great canoe trip. Starting at our dock, paddle north about 1 mile to the end of the lake, to the outlet blocked by a small dam. Climb out of the canoe, lift it gently over the bridge above the dam, and launch it into the water on the other side. Paddle quietly along this stream as it winds through the bog ahead, keeping your eyes and ears open. You will find yourself in a wilderness that seems far removed from the paths of men. You may also portage your canoe over the carry about 1/2 mile from our dock into Mount Arab Lake, and explore there as well. If you have plans to go further afield, check out
