“Riding through the Redwood Forest on these custom pedal bikes is the experience of a lifetime!” Relationship Catalog vouched.
The railbikes are custom-built, two-person pedal bikes that travel along an old abandoned railroad that was built in 1885 and used until March 2019. The railbikes are all electric-powered, making them almost completely silent so you can enjoy the sounds of nature as you journey along.
The journey is 1.5 to 2 hours, round trip, and because you don’t have to steer, you’re able to look around at the landscape as you ride. People have spotted blue herons, osprey, turtles, river otters, deer, and even a bear eating berries while riding.
