Rail bike - A new method to tour in Costa Rica

Nithya NAug 29 2008

Rail bikes are ordinary bicycles with special attachments that allow them to be ridden directly on train rails. It’s a cool concept that allows a bunch of people to pedal on the rail track while exploring. Unlike regular rail transport, which causes tremendous pollution, this bicycle is comparatively cheap with the additional benefit of zero damage to the environment.

In case you are in a mood to explore with this bike in Costa Rica, you will also get a helmet and safety vest, a tour guide, a support vehicle, lunch box, water, juice or soda accompanied by typical Costa Rican lunch. It is a smart move by Costa Rica, and the bikes only cost $70 in case you possess a student ID card, and $65 with a Costa Rican proof of residency.
