    That's a hell of a frame, nice job guys. This is by far the best execution I've seen on youtube so far.

    Looks like a Shimano 7 speed internally geared hub in a bicycle frame mounted inverted into a custom platform . I love the small centering wheels to keep the tires on the center of the rail .
    This sort of use would be perfect for tubular tires (sew-ups) with their high inflation pressure , low rolling resistance . Fewer flats on the rail than if used on roadways , too . No glass or thorns .

    many people obviously doesn't live near or have played near a railroad track are commenting that a coming train from front or behind will hit you by surprise. You will know a train is coming from a few miles away, not because of the horn, but because of the sound from the tracks themselves, you have ample time to carry your bike or trolley out of the track, i assure you. unless you are sleeping, blind or deaf.

    Is there a map of railroads in the US to tell which ones are mostly not in use? A straight one like this is fine, but a curvy one... if there is a train coming round the corner at you -- oops!

    now to make a really cool video would be to hoock a long rope on a passing train and let it tow a trail bike but five times the speed is it too much to handle , speed wobble, could it be designed for it , maybe rubber in rope for easy start , risk of stepping into rope loop , helmet , armour , ejection seat, parachute , airbags for falling to side, paddings or air filled , even a safety cage or shell, but detachable from bike. how about a giant ball rolling o the tracks , pulled by train. ball of branches or plastic or rods pipes. and guy inside on a chair on side bearings . . or like could use an old car pulled behind train w normal wheels on side of trracks or no rubber and iron wheels on track , but rubber coating inside them. or rope and parachute fly benind train. any of those ideas can be very dangerous but some might be rather safe maybe if well designed and done. some choose some danger risk for fun, its popular on youtube like skydiving . or wings from airplane attatched to old car pulled on wire behind train till it flies. in sstrong headwind like a kite. ...tyu

    pretty cool... needs a rear view mirror or a rail vibration detector since you can't ride in the passing lane.

  • @johnpadgitt2198
    @johnpadgitt2198 5 років тому +1

    You might find a shortline rail company that might grant you permission to ride their track.....most of the shortline railroads have Class 1 track that only haul freight and the max speed on that class of track is 10 mph....if you think Union Pacific or CSX will grant you permission to use their class 4 or 5 track, you are out of your freakin' mind....max speeds for passenger trains on a class 5 track is 90 mph.

    I believe 45 mph is a wild guess! Show me a speedometer. Even drugged up Lance Armstrong would be highly tested to do 45 mph on level ground on no less than a 16 lb 20,000 dollar un-faired racing bicycle. These guys were wearing blue jeans, and boots with no fairing. Good idea though. Make use of unused track for enjoyment.

    Must be boring as hell. only follow the track... no sideroads etc. Just follow the track. So you need to transport the bike to the track and then no turning or balance.. not for me.
