	Tandem Bicycle articles by Sheldon Brown -- Harris Cyclery
		The synchronizing chain on a tandem is usually adjusted by an eccentric-mounted bottom bracket at one end or the other.
		When you service a tandem, or, especially, when you set up a new one, you may notice that the tension on the synchronizing chain varies as the cranks turn.
		The resulting tandem will not have the ride quality nor the reliability of a multi-thousand-dollar tandem from a tandem specialist builder.

	Tandem bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On conventional tandems, the front rider steers the bicycle and is known as the captain, pilot, or steersman; the rear rider is the stoker, navigator, or rear admiral.
		Bicycles for three, four, or five riders are referred to as "triples" or "triplets", "quads" or "quadruplets", and "quints" or "quintuplets" respectively.
		Tandem bicycles are often used in competitions such as the Paralympics with blind and visually impaired cyclists riding as stokers with fully-sighted captains.

	Tandem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tandem is an Latin adverb meaning "at length" or "one behind another".

	Tandem Bike FAQ
		Tandems are also great for blind riders or riders with some physical limitations that may keep them from riding a single bike.
		On a typical tandem setup, the captain steers, pedals, shifts, brakes, avoids bumps and potholes, calls them and coasts over them when he or she can't, never scares the stoker for any reason, and does whatever the stoker asks him or her to do.
		Tandem dynamics are such that it is easy to spin out a top gear, or bog down in a low gear if you don't have a really wide range.

	Home-Built Tandem Bicycles
		When I built my first tandem, as a teenager, I thought that I would be able to use a single chain running from the front to the back, with the top and bottom teeth of the rear chainwheel engaging the chain as it went by.
		Standard multi-speed tandems use crossover drive: the synch chain is on the left side of the bicycle, and its drive crosses through one of the bottom brackets to the primary chain.
		Better purpose-built tandems have one of the bottom brackets in an eccentric mount, which may be rotated to fine-tune the tension of the synch chain.

	Gear-To-Go Tandem Bicycles and Recumbents
		What tandem owners tell us over and over is that while a $3-$5,000 bicycle seemed expensive at first, what they really bought was an inexpensive recreational vehicle opening up a lifetime of fun, closeness and shared memories.
		Tandeming is a more fulfilling answer - it allows you to recapture the exhilaration of youth and share it with those that matter most.
		Because tandems symbolize close relationships, they are usually purchased in celebration of occasions where partners reaffirm their commitment - engagements, weddings, major anniversaries, children leaving the nest, and retirement.

	The Pedersen Tandem
		His original design for a novel wood-framed bicycle supporting his hammock saddle received a patent in 1893, and by 1896, steel framed Pedersen bikes were being produced in Dursley, England.
		Tandems, triplets, and quads were produced and raced at the track next to Pedersen’s home in Dursley, but by World War 1, the Dursley Pedersen bicycle was no longer in production and what we now know as the Sturmey-Archer 3-speed hub had proven itself more reliable.
		The tandems were only sold as frames, the Captain’s size was Large and the Stoker was sized as a Medium.
