Van Raam has side-by-side tandems in the assortment that are popular with healthcare institutions. On the Fun2Go side-by-side tandem you sit with 2 people next to each other.

This makes this bike very suitable for cycling together with people who cannot participate independently in traffic (anymore). The Fun2Go can be expanded with the FunTrain side-by-side tandem trailer. This makes it possible for one main driver to cycle with three passengers.
