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.
