2157.0. "Biking on Railroad Rails ?" by GUCCI::MOEN () Mon Jan 06 1992 15:36

    I have a railroad track that has been given to the county for
    use as a hiker/trail in the future. I would like to use it
    now...
    
    I remember reading an article a while back about an attachment
    that goes on a bike, like an outrigger on a canoe, that places a 
    wheel on the second rail to keep your bike positioned on the first 
    rail. 
    
    Does anyone have any info they could share on this? Personal
    experience, mailorder place, etc....
    
    Thanks,

    There was something like that mentioned in a cycling magazine years
    ago, it enabled a blind cyclist go out and ride some abandoned rails near
    his home.

    That's all I remember... but such a thing does exist.
