Take a Scenic Ride Through the Pacific Northwest

When you think of going for a scenic ride, you typically think of hopping in the car. But a railbike tour takes that scenic ride up a notch. Imagine gliding through lush forests, across trestle bridges, and alongside pristine rivers as you pedal your way through some of the most breathtaking scenery in Oregon and Washington. A Joy Rails railbike tour offers a one-of-a-kind, immersive way to take a scenic ride through the Pacific Northwest, combining light exercise with unparalleled views.

What Is a Railbike?

A railbike is a specially designed pedal-powered vehicle that rides along abandoned or repurposed railway tracks. At Joy Rails, our railbikes seat four and are built for comfort and stability. With our ePeddle Assist option, these bikes are perfect for all ages and fitness levels. A Joy Rails tour is a slow-paced, relaxing way to immerse yourself in nature without the distractions of traffic or technology.

Experience a Scenic Railbike Tour Through the Pacific Northwest

Picture yourself pedaling through towering forests, with the sunlight filtering through a canopy of trees. Feel the cool breeze as you glide past meandering rivers, open meadows, and rugged mountains. Along the way, you’ll cross historic trestles and travel through peaceful areas inaccessible by car or foot, all while soaking in the sights and sounds of the PNW.

One of the highlights of a Joy Rails tour is the ability to truly take in your surroundings. Unlike traditional biking, railbikes require no steering – just pedal and enjoy. Whether it’s the gentle hum of your wheels on the track, the chirping of birds, or the rustling of leaves, every moment is a chance to thoroughly enjoy a scenic ride through the Pacific Northwest.
