The bottom of the bike (underside of the boom tube) ends up facing into the room, thus the rear tire is actually a foot or two away from the wall. The captain's saddle and handlebars / brake hoods are what rest against the wall behind the tandem, with either the left or right side of the captain's handlebars resting against the adjacent wall.
Thanks for that great tip. We have 6 bikes in the living room and that little trick made room for one more...
