Colorado Railbike Adventures will allow groups of four to pedal along the second-oldest train tracks in Colorado.
, located in Erie at 4121 County Road 3, has a fleet of eighteen pedal-powered vehicles that will allow groups of four to ride along the second-oldest train tracks in Colorado.
“The idea came from there. It went from a lever cart to pedal cars, and we realized that railbiking was a thing,” recalls Rummer. He adds that eighteen similar attractions are spread throughout the country, namely in the Northeast, where “there's a lot of railroad history and abandoned rails.”, which also has a location in South Fork — a town about four hours from Denver in the San Luis Valley.
Before miners went on strike in 1884, Boulder Valley Mine was the largest coal producer in the state. Its former entrance is set just around 150 yards from Colorado Railbike Adventures’ namesake route, which spans 4.2 miles round-trip. Though the mine has been filled in and structures no longer exist, the history of the area is evident if you look closely.
Additionally, both experiences offer incredible views of the Front Range and are moderate in difficulty. “We've geared , so they should be fairly accessible for most folks,” adds Rummer, who anticipates that families and school field trips will make up a large part of the attraction’s audience.
