This link goes to a site (http://frogsmoke.com/2008/02/07/pedal-vehicle-for-traversing-abandoned-monorailway/)showing a rail bike built to travel on the abandoned Aerotrain track in France (the Aerotrain was an attempt to provide high speed rail travel using hovercraft-style trains to minimize rolling resistance).
This link (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/aerotrain/video/x393m0_laerotrain) goes to some videos of the original experimental trains ( abandoned in favour of the TGV).
