There is such a thing as a rail bike -- basically a pedal-powered car for riding on trail rails -- and you can ride one in the Adirondacks, as Paul Post writes in NYT this week. At least, you can until the rails are taken out (if they're taken out). [NYT]

I've been keeping my eye on this story all summer having liked their facebook page back in June....
