Who can ride railbikes?
Our railbikes are versatile and easy to ride for people of all ages and abilities. Intended to welcome everyone from small children to adults up to 6'4", the Rail Glider's seats are infinitely adjustable, even while sitting in them. The manufacturer has a suggested weight limit of 250lbs per person or 1000lbs per bike.
Can children ride the railbikes?
Yes! Children are welcome to ride the railbikes with appropriate adult guidance. We do ask that groups with children under the age of 16 be accompanied by a parent or guardian. All riders must be secured safely in a seat of their own. Harnesses will be available for toddlers. Infants under the age of 2 may ride strapped securely to an adult in an infant carrier.
How do the tours work?
All tours commence with the entire group departing alongside the tour guide. Participants disperse along the trail, maintaining a distance of up to 500 feet between individuals ahead and behind. This arrangement affords each group the opportunity to relish the open-air environment and the enchantment of the railroad at their preferred speed and in their individual space.
Who else will be on the tracks?
Nickel Plate Express Railbikes will have total occupancy of the rail line during tours. No other tour will operate at the same time and the train will not be running. Our staff coordinates daily to ensure a track bulletin is released and all parties are aware of the schedule for both railbikes and the train operations.
What is your weather policy?
Nickel Plate Express Railbikes operate in various weather conditions, including rain or shine, as long as safety is ensured. Our railbike tours proceed in light to moderately inclement weather, excluding heavy rain expected to persist or impending threatening weather. We diligently assess the radar before each tour, and in the event of anticipated continuous downpour or adverse weather conditions, we may opt to cancel or delay departure until conditions improve. Due to the unpredictable nature of thunderstorms, a decision to cancel a tour for this reason is typically made approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Should the tour be cancelled for weather related issues, you will be offered a full refund. Customers who cancel due to weather are subject to our cancellation policy. Please be mindful when booking that railbikes are an outdoor activity and you will be exposed to the elements including light rain, wind, heat and cool temperatures.
Do I have to book ahead of time or can I just show up?
Booking ahead is strongly recommended. Space is limited and walk-in tickets are not guaranteed.
Are tickets per person?
Tickets can be purchased per person or per quad bike. There is a slight discount when purchasing the entire bike. If purchasing fewer than a full bike, you may be sat with new friends.
How do I get back to where I parked?
Your experience is round trip and will take you back to your starting point.
How long does it take?
Each trip is unique and different. Please refer to our rides for length.
What should I wear?
Kindly review the weather forecast and attire yourself accordingly based on the predicted weather conditions. Since our tours take place outdoors and the railbikes are exposed to the elements, we suggest opting for comfortable and loose-fitting attire suitable for hiking or cycling. It is advisable to wear closed-toed shoes for your convenience and safety.
What should I bring? Is there a place to put a bag or backpack?
We recommend passengers bring bottled water. Each bike is equipped with a small basket for bags and other items. Larger items should be stored in your car. Passengers are welcome to bring small coolers, bottled water and snacks.
