Abstract
Railbikes configured to transport passengers on a railway are provided. The railbikes are propelled by the passengers, using foot pedals. The railbikes are equipped with passenger seats whose orientation can be reversed quickly and easily the passengers. Also, the railbikes includes reversible clutches that permit the passengers to pedal in opposite directions, depending on the desired direction of travel of the railbikes. Thus, the direction of travel of the railbikes can be reversed without a need to lift the railbikes off of the underlying rails to physically reorient the railbikes in the opposite direction; and without a need for a turntable or other specialized railway equipment to turn the railbike.
