A tandem bicycle is designed to be ridden by more than one person fore to aft, not side by side and has been around since the late 1890s.

Our speakers will be Sam Waterstreet, who has been a member of the Chicago Area Tandem Society for 20 years and has organized of many of their state and Midwest region rallies and is currently the club’s communication officer and Mary Devoto, the treasurer, who will give a perspective from the “stoker” point of view. |
