REVOLUTION RAIL: A Railbike Adventure on the Railroad Track!

City: Cape May, New Jersey

Sign up for a quad or a double rail bike through Revolution Rail and peddle your way through picturesque landscapes in New York, New Jersey, Maine and Colorado. Pick from one of several locations, and then select a tour, ranging anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours. Our Cape May run took us from the heart of Cape May for a 4-mile out-and-back trip alongside the The Nature Conservancy’s Garrett Family Preserve. Revolution Rail riders can enjoy the expansive native wildflower meadows and flora, as well as viewing opportunities for migrating songbirds, raptors, and pollinators like bumblebees and monarch butterflies. Each run is different but as long as there is one person able to pedal the rail bike, then anyone of any age or ability can join on the ride. Best enjoyed at a leisurely pace to take in the surroundings, nature and fresh air.

As you can see, not “everyone” has to pedal to make it go, making it great family activity for anyone young or old.

Reached the half way point of the track, where we took a brief break, enjoyed the Nature Conservancy while our guides did a 180 degree flip with all the bikes to head back the way we came.
