I'm going to guess the younger man is driving sag for the man holding on to the bike, and just wanted to be in the picture also. Also 3 bikes / 3 helmets / 3 in bike clothes / 2 loaded touring bikes / 1 bike unloaded / toe straps on bike & tennis shoes on taller gentlemen.

Of course this is just a guess on my part.

Duh! as the young folks say. I should have noticed the three bikes. It makes sense now. The picture is a publicity stunt ..... just like Ryan's ride.
