The manager of the place I work is going on an interesting ride this year(June) on a tandem bike. He is taking 3 boys(around 12 years old) from Africa across Canada. He is the only one pedalling the bike. It is set up in the rear with no pedals , uses a running boad for the feet to sit on. The bike also has a bar around the passenger area so the boys won't fall off. The boys will take turns riding for a few hours a day. The trip is from the west coast to east coast of Canada. The ride will be around 30 days from what info I got from coworkers. I have not talked to the manager yet. He will have a full support team going with him including a motor home and a vehicle or two. He is raising money for poor people in Africa. It sounds like a great challenge. I heard he rode from the Yukon to Winnipeg a year or two ago. When I get more info I will post again.
