RailCycles are designed for virtually everyone! Our bikes are the most accessible in the industry, featuring a platform to step onto, a comfortable ergonomic seat, with many modifications for accessibility.

We have increased accessibility in the works: We are currently working on designing a pedal – assist, a wheelchair-accessible bike, as well as a hand cycle modification for those that are unable to pedal with their feet. If you would like to be part of our accessibility-advisor committee and help test our modifications, please email us at info@railcycle.com.

Bring the kids! There is no minimum age limit for our RailCycles. Children under 25 lbs may ride with an adult in a front-style harness or carrier; so long as parents are able to buckle their seatbelt. Children who are able to sit up on their own must have their own seat, and use their seatbelts. Special 5-point harnesses are available for parents (and kiddos) looking for extra security. While not all children may be able to reach the pedals, they are sure to enjoy the ride.

Children are not permitted to sit on an adult’s lap during the ride, they must be in their own seat.

If you or a fellow rider experience any discomfort due to the seat sides, please don’t hesitate to ask one of our knowledgeable guides or staff members for a seat cushion. We want everyone to have a comfortable and enjoyable ride with us.

As part of our commitment to accessibility, we are constantly working to find ways to make our RailCycles more accommodating to all riders. We understand that everyone is different, and we want to ensure that our RailCycles are accessible to as many people as possible.

Our RailCycle trips are led by a guide in the lead RailCycle. Once you depart New Reliance, RailCycles meander through woodlands and open fields. If the weather is good and the mountain is out, riders will have multiple breathtaking views of Mt. Rainier. Traveling 3 miles through the beautiful hills, fields and valleys, riders arrive at our beautiful turnaround. Riders will enjoy a 35-minute layover during which guides will turn the RailCycles around for the return trip home.

Our railroad goes up and down, and twists and turns. The first half of your journey tends towards a downhill grade while the return trip home is more uphill. Railroads are built to have very slight grades, and both directions are equally enjoyable.

Each tour is accompanied by a tour guide in the lead and a tour guide in the last RailCycle.

RailCycles run rain or shine, unless weather appears particularly dangerous or imminent. RailCycling is enjoyable in almost all conditions as long as riders dress according to the weather. RailCycle guides will delay departures, or at times, cancel departures if weather poses a risk.

Rescheduling or cancellation due to inclement weather will only occur if RailCycle Mt. Rainier considers weather to be a hazard to our customers. Customer cancellations due to weather are subject to our cancellation policy. If RailCycle Mt. Rainier chooses to cancel a tour based on weather conditions, riders will receive a full refund.

Dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather. Our RailCycle excursions are outdoors and open to the weather. We recommend sturdy closed toe shoes. Dress like you’re going on a leisurely hike.

Bring water, sunscreen, insect repellant, and appropriate outdoor gear. Don’t forget something to take pictures with!
