Kind of surprised they haven't taken up the rails for the steel, that's what they did to all of our old railroads. But they also turned them into nice rail trails and paved them so they're great for biking.
@@wowitzkate No bathrooms are available along the rail lines for this experience. You go before or after or you find a friendly tree or bush at the turn around point!
Great video, it seemed like I was right there with you. Have you ever thought about riding the old TTI from Maysville to Paris? Heard it was very scenic.
Were is this? How long was the ride? What happens if you get tired from peddling? Reason I ask have a friend who had a heart attack and would like to take him to do this. I just dont want to be the only one to have to peddle if she to tired..
One of the pedals is electric and it gives you a boost so it’s not as hard. And it’s in Versailles, KY which is just West of Lexington, KY. And if your the only person peddling I would choose the electric one because it does not make you very tired.
@@railfansouth thank you for responding. I did go try it out the one in Rhode Island and unfortunately they don’t have the one with an electric assist 🥹. But the ride I had wasn’t bad mostly flat surface but by the midway my legs did get a big tired but definitely do able to
Since one of the pedals is electric and will give you a boost it’s not that hard to do it. But if your kid wants to pedal but his legs can’t reach you can scoot your chair forward so he can reach or if you need to push it back you can also.

Now this is the real way to go "off roading!" Beautiful scenery and good exercise. ❤😂
You got that right!

I’m very glad they didn’t. I think it’s cool that they make old railroads into these things.
Just recently rode this line and loved it! Can't wait to check out their new West Virginia line!
Nicely done video!
Have fun! And thank you!
Thanks for posting this! We’re going in a few weeks and this was a very informative video.
Wow! I hope you have a great time!
@@railfansouth
I’m going later today in Versailles, KY.!!!
@@AzzKicker-bz1cbis there a way to stop the car to go to the bathroom?
@@wowitzkate

@@AzzKicker-bz1cbHope you had fun!
This is one of the great things I've watched on TH-cam - if I was in America, I'd love to do this one day. :)
Yes it is such a cool experience!
We rode this last fall and wow, better than I expected. It was really great fun!
I hope to take my family here next year!
Great video, it seemed like I was right there with you. Have you ever thought about riding the old TTI from Maysville to Paris? Heard it was very scenic.
No I’ve never heard of that. But it seems like it would be amazing!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing your experience! Are there any porta john/bathroom opportunities at the turnaround?
@@whitneyglynn545 I believe there was. But I’m not quite sure.
That is super cool to go do that. That's awesome. I would love. to go do that for a whole day. A whole weekend actually go camping and stuff
Yes it certainly is amazing!
they should cover the tires with rubber so it won’t be so loud

@@railfansouth appreciate the info👊🏻
Yea no problem😀
What is the name of this railcar? I might want to do some research before building one myself
@@mrdragoonproductionpteltd.7946 not sure
I'm curious how easy/hard the pedaling would be. There has to be hills right?
One of the pedals is electric. It will give you a boost so it won’t be as hard😁
Wish this had a no peddle feature
Me too, in my 60's I would NEED a motorized version.
@@mikeh8416 That's why it is motorized as you can see in the video and read about on the website.
Is a amtrack bike
So does this happen frequently? Who do I contact?
You can contact Railexplorers go to maps and look up railexplorers and I guess schedule your time
I wanna try this!
Hola gran video! A que velocidad iban?
You can control your speed but I would say the max is like 20
You can control your speed but I would say the max is about 20
Pretty neat wow
Dont find out its not abandonned, the hard way!
Haha I sure hope not lol😂
Its the Bluegrass Scenic Railway its still in service. the BSR organized the railbike thing.
Welcome to my neck of the woods lol
Mine too.
What if you can’t peddle anymore ?
One of the seats are electric so it gives you a boost. It does not make you that tired at all.

Where can a man buy those wheels?
@@robertneild9432 I have absolutely no idea lol
Imagine if you could actually ride across the bridge.
That would be wild! And scary lol
Bring it to Philly
Recommend smaller kids who can’t peddle yet?
