That will turn the rails into a self-propelled ride with pedal carts which would be a new use for something like $50 or $95, price/cart not by rider .... www.essexsteamtrain.com/experience/rail-bike/.
It should be nice sight to see people coming down the tracks, pedaling it forward, and moving it down along the Weirs Beach boardwalk! Here they come ....... there they go ...... just, look at that ...... four people power ...... all pedaling it forward! Wonder if it will have a bell to ring, to ring, to ring ..... ding-ding-ding ..... ring that bell! .....  |
That will be interesting when someone gets run into by one of those self propelled rides. Lawsuits galore. I do understand the pure argument here for the railroad and its income which you can't compare to the free use of a walking, hiking, bike trail. Neither can you compare the health benefits of riding the rail to exercise and good general health while enjoying the lake views.
