The tandem bicycle or twin is a form of bicycle that is ridden by more than one person. The term tandem refers to the seating arrangement on the bike and not the number of riders. A tandem is a bicycle built for two or more people sitting one behind the other.
On a conventional tandem, 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.
