Men's Olympic Marathon and Brompton

Here in the U.S. on NBC, I happened to watch the first part of the Men's marathon yesterday. The course had one lane of the road blocked off for bikes and pedestrians spectating. For as long as I watched during the first 45 minutes there was a guy in a blue long shirt riding along with the lead pack of runners on his Brompton.

That's it. I thought it was cool. There were a few other bikes too, but he looked like he was having a good time.

Anyone else notice this?
