There was also a guy on a unicycle, and a guy on a pennyfarthing. One of the days I saw two pennyfarthings side by side, but I think only one was riding for the whole week. I even saw a two-seat surrey one of the days! Later I saw the riders pushing that surrey up one of the hills.
Yep, I saw all those guys plus did you see the tandom with the mom up front and a 6-7 yo on the back? They had a third crankset and chain raised up on the back seat tube so the kid could reach the pedals. Pretty cool setup. However, the most impressive rider I saw was a woman (saw her several days) with one leg. She had her telescopic crutch strapped to her bike for when she got off. Very impressive.
