NORTH BERGEN – Identical twins Victoria and Emily Rodriguez were among 173 sets of twins (and a few triplets) that rode tandem bicycles in NYC’s Central Park on Wednesday, July 15 in an attempt to set a world record for the most twins riding tandem bikes at once. Victoria and Emily were born and raised in North Bergen and are both employed by the North Bergen school district.
Participants gathered at Tavern on the Green and rode for 2.2 miles through the park. Event planners supplied the bikes and helmets, with pairs asked to dress identically.
The event was created to promote the upcoming VH1 show “Twinning” and was broadcast on Good Morning America. Only l50 bikers were needed to set a new world record, but Guinness World Records had not confirmed at press time if a new record had been established.
