What is a "tandem"?

A tandem is a type of bicycle designed for two or more riders to pedal together. It has multiple seats and sets of pedals, allowing two or more people to ride at the same time. The front rider, known as the captain, steers and controls the bike, while the back rider, known as stoker, help pedal and sometimes assist with navigation. Tandem bikes are often used for long rides, as they provide a fun and efficient way for multiple people to ride together, sharing the effort and enjoying the ride.
