Tandem bicycle

A tandem bicycle or twin is a bicycle designed to be ridden by more than one person at a time. The term tandem refers to the seating arrangement, not the number of riders. Patents related to tandem bicycles date from the mid-1880s.

Tandems can reach higher speeds than the same riders on single bicycles, and tandem bicycle racing exists.
As with bicycles for single riders, there are many variations that have been developed over the years.
