I wonder if it would be quicker if you removed the tires and just ran on the rims...
Traction might be an issue, metal to metal. And the dished section of a bike rim would provide even less contact than the flanged wheel of a train car would. And even less weight pressing the rim to the rail. Try it and report back. Twenty bucks is nothing for a research project like that.
