Rail bikes are ordinary bicycles with special attachments that allow them to be ridden directly on train rails. It’s a cool concept that allows a bunch of people to pedal on the rail track while exploring. Unlike regular rail transport, which causes tremendous pollution, this bicycle is comparatively cheap with the additional benefit of zero damage to the environment.
In case you are in a mood to explore with this bike in Costa Rica, you will also get a helmet and safety vest, a tour guide, a support vehicle, lunch box, water, juice or soda accompanied by typical Costa Rican lunch. It is a smart move by Costa Rica, and the bikes only cost $70 in case you possess a student ID card, and $65 with a Costa Rican proof of residency.

LOL.. this looks so much fun
Dude its awesome. But the good thing is that some thing like this could certainly happen in India, maybe near the hill stations. I love bicycles, they are really cool and now-a-days bikes are modified only for the better. Look at the amount of kits that come along, like side wheels, jacket, helmet and i shouldn’t forget to mention the scrumptious meal they are giving away. Wow I wish I was from Costa Rica.
Yeah.. its amazing how people come up with such ideas. Though I was not really sure if just a rail bike in itself was enough to attract customers. I mean, after a while it will be monotonous and almost like bike ride on road. It may be a good idea on hill station.. like go up or come down from Matheran on railbike... sounds fun.
Cool idea! This looks so much fun too. Plus it is a hydrogen gas saver, so its just totally awesome!
