FAQs:

Question: Is there a weight limit for the bikes? Answer: Yes, there is a 300 lbs. weight limit per rider per seat.

Question: Who can participate in a Rail Bike adventure? Answer: Rail Bike adventures are truly meant for everyone! Couples, families, groups of friends, people of all ages and abilities can enjoy a Pennsylvania Rail Bike adventure.

Question: Is it safe for children? Answer: Yes! Our custom made railbikes are easy to ride and come with seat belts (which are required to be worn) as well as hand controlled brakes. Children must be accompanied by a rider at least 16 years of age to operate the brakes. Each guest must be secured in their own seat with a seatbelt. The only exception is infants, who must be secured in a chest harness to an adult rider. Infants in a chest harness travel free. Younger children may not be able to reach the pedals but can be safely buckled in to enjoy the ride. Children are NOT permitted to be seated on your lap and this is strictly forbidden.

Question: What about other activity on the tracks such as trains? Answer: Pennsylvania Rail Bike is able to take advantage of rails that do not have any train traffic. Our staff coordinates closely with the railroad managers and dispatchers to ensure that there are no other vehicles on the rails during our operations
