Secret Valley Explorers - Railbikes
Railbikes are fun and easy to pedal by people of all ages. Bikes seat either three or four people, so bring family and friends for a memorable adventure. Price is per bike, not per person.
Rail bikes are not for use by persons over 250 lbs. in weight or by persons under 4'6" in height.
For your safety and the safety of the other riders, we can not permit you to ride.
Railbikes will be stationed at a new location on the Colebrookdale line, and will no longer be at our Boyertown Train Station.
