Folding tandem bike
Saw this today on sale. I didn’t know such a thing existed. Note the double kickstands.

The rear rack looks like it’s part of the frame. No option to remove it. The seller mentions the bike is really heavy. I see a hinge on the front down tube but not another one.
A web search showed they made a three person tandem model. A family bike I guess.

Are you thinking of buying it?

No I’m not buying it. I just bought a used Bike Friday New World Tourist. To make room I’m also going to sell two mini velos I have.

Well, in fairness to both of you, it is a bicycle built for two. Can't see any reason you can't both pedal that bus together.

The Graziella Tandem is a classic and a collectors item. Unfortunately practical use is somewhat limited probably and it needs a lot of space. The one pictured needs some serious tinkering to make it shiny again but it is in no way hopeless. If the owner finds the right person someone might be very happy.
