Either Cole and Sheri picked up the scooters really quickly or Bernie and Ashley got lost after leaving the scooters (or paintings) and it wasn't really shown with the editing. Bernie and Ashley had already left the scooters before Cole and Sheri made it there so they should have been starting the tasks at around the same time.

But classic mistake of switching tasks. You may have picked the wrong one but typically you are better off just getting through it. Especially since they didn't need to stay one the scooter the entire way through the course.

edit: reading an interview with a producer. Cole and Sheri were 40 minutes behind the teams leaving Window of the World. Bernie and Ashley were at the unicycles for 40 minutes when they switched. So essentially they left and Cole and Sheri arrived right after. Bernie and Ashley finished 5 minutes after Cole and Sheri so the difference was really in the time they took to switch tasks (i.e. seems the tasks were evenly matched if you had the ability to do the unicycles).
