Much greener than rails for trails, bikes for rails!

Great way to explore the back country without destroying it first....
Many regions are converting old abandoned railroad lines into paved road to hike and bike. The trails that are convenient to cities make excellent afternoon trips for your family and are perfect for this use (see rails for trails). Other railroad lines explore much of the American wilderness. Rather then come in and destroy part of the ecosystem to build a trail, why not equip the bike for the rail. As for the expense, it should be cheaper to purchase/make a few rail bikes than to tear out the old railroad tracks and build a road to walk, hike or bike on.

So America, lets save some trails for the railbikes.
