Hi-

First time poster! Potential tandem rider!

My S.O. and I have been discussing getting a tandem bicycle. He is an avid cyclist and I am a casual joy-rider. When I started reserching tandems I had no idea there was such a thing as a folding tandem, but to me it seems like the ideal solution to our space-contraints.

My questions are as follows:

Can anyone reccomend a budget-friendly folding tandem? I drooled over the bike friday, but that is not realistic. Something in the $600-800 range would be right-on.

What size does a folding tandem fold down to? Would we be able to fit it in the trunk? Do they need to be disassembled, or do they simply fold?

Has anyone seen the Worksman folding tandem in person?

At first glance, this fits into our budget, but there are no user reviews anywhere on the web. There isn't even a picture of it folded.

Thanks!
