Tandem Bicycles - Bikes For 2 Riders
Tandem bicycles are bikes for 2 riders. A standard tandem bicycle is in an inline configuration with a "Captain" on the front seat who maneuvers and controls the bike and a "Stoker" in the back seat who contributes to pedaling power. Standard tandem bicycles allow an able-bodied captain to ride in front with a stoker with disability in the back seat.
Alternative tandem bicycles place the able-bodied person in the back seat to allow the person with disabilities to ride in front where they may feel more in control and included in the ride.
​
Tandem bicycles may also have a side-by-side configuration. This option may provide a more stable and safe ride in cases where a Captain is smaller than the Stoker.
​
Electric Assist: Tandem bicycles may have an electric assist option. Tandem bicycles have double the pedaling power with 2 riders; but in some cases where the rider with disability is unable to provide as much power, the addition of electric assist can greatly improve the riding experience.
