RE: Railbikes - Taking Bicycles on the Train Tracks
Wow - living in Thailand this leaves me breathless and anxious - train timetables are a mere suggestion, rail collisions are common here and I can't imagine being able to get off the tracks fast enough! I'm guessing this could be fun though, in a country where train arrivals are more predictable. People are ingenious, no? Nice post. :)
Thanks for the comment, but my point is exactly that: don't try to ride or non-abandoned tracks! Even on the abandoned ones there may be some maintenance traffic. However, checking in with the people in charge of the tracks can give you all the info where you won't encounter ANY rail vehicles.
Of course, there's no comparison with Asia. North America, including Mexico, is known for its wasted infrastructure, with a whole network of rails without a single train, ever, any more.
