About the Rail Bikes
These custom made rail bikes are made for 2 people and are whisper quiet, being powder by pedal power when traveling through the forest. There is also low noise electric motors that give tired bikers a break without disturbing the forest. The tracks are completely safe with no trains or other traffic.
This easy ride is about 2 hours that starts at Fort Bragg and winds along Pudding Creek and then crosses a wooden trestle bridge and then heads into Mendocino County which is in the heart of the redwoods, which is estimated at more than a thousand years old. Some of these magnificent trees are as high as 300ft in the air.
