As you’re probably aware, I’m a huge tandem fan – in fact, I’ve whizzed through dozens of countries on one. When I started researching tandem manufacturers, I had a pretty hard time finding good information about different manufacturers and custom builders. A lot of the information seemed to come back to the same couple of manufacturers, which can get pretty frustrating when you’re trying to gauge what’s actually available.
In light of this, I decided to create a resource with every tandem option and price available. The website links will take you directly to the manufacturer’s pages, where you can read about the products. The pricing (where available) should then allow you to find bikes in your price range.
