Anyone know what kind of bike that might have been? It was cool.

Probably a Bilenky ViewPoint: http://www.bilenky.com/viewpnt.html which is a development of the Counterpoint Opus: http://home.earthlink.net/~veloise/cpoint.htm . Or it could be the Hase version of the bike: http://hasebikes.com/148-1-tandem-pino-allround.html

Think that's cool? Take a look at the Bilenky Waltz: http://www.sandsmachine.com/a_bilt12.htm
