You need to type source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm before attempting to use Rails.

I believe the RVM installation suggests putting this line (or something similar) in your .bashrc.

This appends the line source \$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm to the end of the .bashrc file.

Doing so ensures that RVM is properly loaded each time you open up a terminal.
