Some people will try anything
William Gillum, Colorado
Springs, has devised a
unique way to see the
countryside from a bicycle
seat, using abandoned rail-
roads. He built a Railbike
and ‘‘rides the rails’.
- To build his Railbike
Gillum used an ordinary
bike, steel tubing, nuts and
bolts and “Small guide
wheels. These materials are
available almost anywhere,
and construction and as-
sembly is a fairly simple
operation.
The idea of modifying a
bicycle to run on old railroad
tracks is not a new one.
Gillum says his research
turned up about SO patents
for Railbikes, issued from
1900.
Gillum has collected all he
can find about Railbikes,
from detailed construction
plans to a book entitled, ‘‘A
Guide to Abandoned Rail-
?
roads.”” More information
about this unique way to
see the great outdoors is
available from the American
Railbike Association, Box
9952, Colorado Springs, Co.
