The other day I was wishing for a bike that could ride rails, this picture wasn't my first mental design, but hey, whatever. I hope you'd bring several jackets.
hehe, my husband built this to ride the rails. now he's put street tires on and rides around town. it was part of 22 different vehicles that were build for the Handcar Regatta in Sept. in Santa Rosa, CA. All of the vehicles were human powered and rail bound. there are a lot of photos on flickr.http://www.flickr.com/photos/83345443@N00/3877687183/sizes/o/
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. But some of the other vehicles that were built are equally as bad ass. And there were a few tricked out railbikes (like the one that started this thread) as well.
I've a feeling you'd be relatively fucked when an actual train came by.
And wouldn't it be better to just have clamps/removable front wheels? That way you can disassemble it back into normal bikes when you're done with rails.
