One guy bikes and the other sits on the rack on the back and they switch every so often. It must take them about 20 minutes to get over the bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is at least a couple miles from here, that's a damn long way to ride that setup.

For example, 4th Avenue--which is much wider and more dangerous--could sure use them too.
