Raleigh Tandem Bicycle

The Raleigh tandem bicycle, with a frame design such that is can be ridden by two ladies, and the stength and rigidty is sufficient for two heavy-weight riders. The steering and control of the brakes is done by the front rider. Connected steering is employed in some tandems, allowing the rear rider to steer if necessary.
