Riding the rails: Touring Rhode Island on a rail bike

PORTSMOUTH, R.I. (AP) — There's a new way to ride the rails in Rhode Island: by pedaling a rail bike beside picturesque Narragansett Bay. On a gorgeous summer day in July, the site was teeming with people looking to spend a fun day outside and families seeking a kid-friendly activity. The vehicles have four steel wheels, brakes and pedals for each seat. The company coordinates its schedule with the railroad so riders aren't on the tracks when trains pass. Seeing a 90-year-old gentleman ride with his daughter and grandchildren, and the fact that they accomplish it as a family, it's almost like an energy pill at the end of a very long day. Visitors should wear sunscreen, bring water and wear a hat and comfortable clothing.
