Moser Tandem
I stumbled across this just had to post it. I apologize for the the slightly misleading title but thought it would attract more views. Note that the camera is canted and they are not speeding downhill!

In order to finish a race, you must cross the line with a bike.

I wonder how long it took the Italians to figure out that it works better with a 2nd set of handlebars, saddle and cranks?

I like to see that done on a carbon bike. Would it result in an assplosion or implosion?

Cool pic. It can be done safely on a carbon bike! Here's Chris Horner giving a guy (and his bike) a lift a few years ago. He had been flushed out the back after working for someone else in a race and picked up this guy who'd flatted. Gave him a ride up the rest of the climb.

this is the more extreme version of carrying a spare tire, carry a spare rider

The really impressive thing is seeing them switch at speed...
