I shot and edited documentaries professionally for several decades and I have to say that you did a superb job under extreme conditions. Congratulations! An epic adventure for all of us to share. THANK YOU!
@Peter McLennan I was also thinking they did an outstanding job of filming & editing this incredible wild adventure! So, I’m glad a professional like you made that acknowledgment!! 👍🏻👏🏻
I too have been in photography and video production for several years and this is an excellent and, I might say, extremely interesting production. I'm now retired but haven't "rode the rails" yet. Great job, gentlemen.
Gentlemen, I want to thank you for the joy you have gifted me by recording this adventure. The hard work of placing and retrieving cameras while contending with the elements is incredible. Again thank you.
the best travel show on the tube. i BECAME ADDICTED TO THE SCREEN. I felt frightened , elated. excited. emotional. you are certainly a great group of men. I am 82 years and in my younger life i formed and ran a touring cycling club and during my cycling years pedled over 26,000 miles. I last rode a bike 10 years ago in Scotland along disused railway trackbeds. but it became to much so had to stop. You are an inspiration to all who view this. thankyou very much.
I'm sixty six and I 'actually' thought I was doing something special because 'maybe' twice a week I ride twenty six miles on a paved bike trail. Still, I enjoy it. The trail was made from an old railway which was paved over. Plans are to lengthen the NY trail but I'm told no camping will be allowed.
3deeguy you are doing something special. I just turned 32, but after having stage four cancer, my heart has a hard time. Keep up the fun while you can! That sucks about the no camping!
I'm 72yrs young and your trip was spectacular ...ive ridden a bike in stiff winds on long trips I know the agony ...your surroundings were breathtaking...great job men
beauty .... I'm 80 years old, but I enjoyed this adventure of yours exploring strange lands, and with such vitality worthy of young athletes. I congratulate you... and live LIFE 👏👏👏👏
Amazing journey and a beautifully produced video. You have shown that language need not be a barrier when kindness and respect are given. Thank you for lifting my morning.
With similar decades on the Earth, I salute you gentlemen and raise my glass. Thank you for the courage, and execution for those of us who may not have the (remaining) physical ability to join you. So enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing your experience. Nicely done.
I would like to express my deepest thanks For sharing this video With the world I totally enjoyed it Just goes to show you Never too old To enjoy a unique experience
What an absolutely incredible thing to do. As an old retired bloke myself I would have loved to do that trip. Well produced video. Congratulations. You made my day!
the worst part was the end.... I could've watched another hour of your journey. I got lost in the beauty and serenity of your trip. what an amazing journey. We live in such a fast paced society here in the U.S. that sometimes we forget things are slower in other parts of the world. Thank you for sharing your trip with the rest of "us". Chad Thatcher Murray, Kentucky
The adventure u show us is classic one. Never imagine how railbiking is. Love to watch agin n agin. U people have guts to do that .Hats of to you. Thk for showing.
Thank you for sharing!, I grow in that's place, I'm far from there now, but I cried seeing this, you make feel like I was there again, I was so happy in those years
Some of my friends and I actually did this in Southern California decades ago in the 70s. Only ours were two ten speed bikes welded together and we rode on full size abandoned tracks. Eventually we powered the unit with a 5hp motor with a platform between the rails to ride on. It carried 2 to 4 people and we sat in lawn chairs while riding. I still have photos of this. This is the first time I have ever seen anyone else do anything like it.
@@Shallcross That's what I tell my students. I have photos of us on the tracks in Southern California. We used to ride two sets of rails. One abandoned and one active. The active one was privately owned and we knew the track maintainer crew so we had the run schedule.
Congratulations!! your story touched me in several ways. First of all because it gives me hope, you are the living proof that tours and cruises are not the only option for retired people, second: you've linked two places of the world I love: Patagonia (where I traveled several times) and Portland (some of you came from there) a city I love and enjoyed, and finally because your adventure is like a tribute to friendship among you and with environment, human as well as natural. My regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
A "railbike" is something that I imagined and drew pictures of, when I was a little kid. I thought it was my own invention! I'm so happy to see it as a real thing. Great fun, a great adventure, and a great video. Cheers!
We used rail bikes to move around on a large underground mine in the 1970's. They were small bicycles on 4 aluminium wheels. No brakes, banana seats. But, the rail was only 24 inch gauge.
I give respect to the people of Patagonia that preserve history - even if unused it is cherished and not stripped. The world can learn from you. What breathtaking beautiful country scenes
VEry nice Scenic view on the places that you Railbiking with your Friends on Adventure, I loved it . Take care all of you, and nice to watch it here all your Dreamed Adventure on Railways, Stay Safe.
Simply awe inspiring. The scenery was deeply spiritual and you gentlemen were so respectful of all those good folk you encountered. Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful film with us. God bless you.
That was so enjoyable to watch. Something about the home movie feel of the whole production draws you in in a really unique and special way compared to something more produced and "professional". Loved it.
Very interesting and very scenic video.... especially from the point of view of a retired train driver from UK who also enjoys cycling.... It isn't usually as windy here in UK though....
My expectations weren't very high when I clicked on this clip. However, the editing was superb and you took a potentially dull subject and turned it into a great story. Well done!
What a thoroughly enjoyable experience watching that was! Took me a lot more 25 minutes to get through it - there were so many amazing views, from the video and the stills, that I had to keep going back and pausing it to take a longer look. Stunning!
Thank you. Watching your movie brought up many memories from riding the line in the late 1980ties from Esquel for the whole length including a three course meal in the diner and running out of coal to heat our coach. Also, an engine break-down let to many hours of delay. The strong but cold winds I could feel again ... I spend all stops outside on the ground trying to collect wood in order to keep a fire going in the coach's oven. And the sun-set looked just like in your movie.
Very well done! What a wonderfully original idea for an exciting adventure in older age! I've never heard of rail biking before - what a brilliant idea. Congratulations on completing a unique holiday in a beautiful remote location and thanks for posting. Best wishes to you all.
As an argentinian a I feel proud of you guys for this impressive travel!! I hope one day I have the encouragement for doing the same. And thanks for showing the patagonia to nearly 3 million people
The vastness of the Patagonian landscape compared to your own size has nothing to do with your relative significance. Do not sell yourselves short. That was a grand adventure, full of significance. Well done, gentlemen, well done!
Just fabulous to enjoy your bike trip of this wild Patagonia, with phenomenal landscape, open space, mountains, free-roaming cattle, sheep, nice local children & people! Very well done documentary. Thank you!
What an amazing adventure! Thank you for taking us along. The beauty of Patagonia astonished me. I had no idea. I love that you made a point to interact with the children you encountered. They'll be telling the stories to their grandkids and I'd bet a few of them build their own rail bikes too.
What a fascinating trip! Four old friends embarked themselves in a very challenging and unparalleled trip not for the faint of heart, as most of it ran at elevations way higher than 3,000 ft. The sightseeings are so peaceful and the locals just amazingly friendly. I enjoyed watching this video so much!
What an adventure. Thanks for sharing. The amateur cameras did not detract from the wonderful story! The people you met seemed so kind. I'm sure you guys were such a curiosity.
I found myself totally immersed in this video, it has a southwestern American landscape, though the mountains were gorgeous.!! Absolutely fascinating and captivating. Great video and best of luck. 😉
Definitely a high desert environment. I wonder what the average altitude was? Looks like it could be a brutal place in the middle of winter and very hot during summer.
A fabulous record of a wonderful adventure. I have recently shown this to my cycling buddies and we are taking inspiration to undertake our own. Brilliantly filmed and edited too.
What an amazing video, Thank you all for sharing your experiences with all who are blessed to see this raw footage of this great time you four men had together, Be blessed in all U do an receive 🙏.
What an adventure! Just Wow. The people (specially the kids), the towns and villages, the animals, railroad stations, it was magnificent. Awesome ride!!!
What a wonderful adventure! If I didn't know better, I'd say you were in New Mexico where I live. The terrain, especially past El Maiten, is so similar, and the old adobe buildings look so familiar. The wind and storms are the same, too. However, I don't see gauchos tending their herds and flocks around here. Thank you so much for sharing with us. What wonderful memories you must have.
The United States needs these rail adventures for our abandoned rails. What a way to travel, without pollution. A collapsible sail would make an invaluable addition to the rail bike. Nothing terribly huge, just large enough to give a push from the wind, maybe a large umbrella. Wonderful adventure.
Super interesting....and something I'VE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE! Hats off bigtime to all you guys for even trying to do that: Wow! I'm 63, had my R hip replaced a year ago; former mountain climber, distances runner, blah blah blah.....and I DON'T THINK I could do what you gentlemen have accomplished. VERY impressive.....BECAUSE of your ages. Everything gets harder physically, especially when you don't maintain it. You guys seem to have done so with flying colors.
You guys make me jealous. What a ingenious way to travel and bonding of a handful old Geezers. Your photographer and editor deserves a special thanks. From an 84 year old fellow Geezer. Thanks sharing this documentary with us.
Now we know....Patagonia....wild, beautiful, barren, stark, rich in natural beauty, and salve for the soul. Thank you for sharing with us mere mortals.
This has got to be one of the best and interesting adventures on Utube that I have seen. We need more of these trips and adventures to watch. Than you for sharing.
I have a friend who, with two others, rode around the world covering 62,000 miles. As part of that journey they rail biked, in exactly the same fashion, across the Sahara Desert.
Hi Bill! Are they making a video too? They must be good mechanics to create probably with few tools and supplies, bikes that could ride the rails. Did they have much problem with trains traveling the same tracks, and with drifting sand over the tracks?
@@mwj5368 I don't think a video is forthcoming as this trip was done in the 80's and 90's as I recall. They did create the outriggers on the scene using what they could find. I don't know how much trouble with trains they had but I do recall my friend saying that they did have to be on the look out for trains and getting off the tracks quickly. Lastly, I'm not sure about sand on the tracks. You may find more at stevendwilliams.com
Thank you for sharing your trip. My grandfather used to tell us stories about the rail rides. In the depression they had to get around. We're in the states coal country PA. Thank you again I always wanted to see it done.

Hopefully you know Jesus as your Savior.

Diversity has its roots
Really a gentleman journey. Congratulations team Railbike.
It's insane to travel and not be able to communicate. You must miss over half of the experience.

That was so enjoyable to watch. Something about the home movie feel of the whole production draws you in in a really unique and special way compared to something more produced and "professional". Loved it.
Wonderful video of what appears to have been a true 'bucket-list' endeavor. Equally amazed that the rails appeared to be in such good condition.
I have never heard of this but what a brilliant idea. Railways go places many roads do not.
Hats off to the young team for undertaking this beautiful and epic journey. Hats off to the locals for keeping the rail tracks and not removing them !
While watching this I was feeling the adventure. thank you for the video.
