Abstract

A separable tandem bicycle includes a front bicycle frame, a rear bicycle frame, and a connecting member which interconnects a front seat tube of the front bicycle frame and a down tube of the rear bicycle frame. The connecting member is detachable from the front seat tube and is foldable over the down tube. A handle bar is detachably mounted to the connecting member. Due to the separable and foldable construction, the tandem bicycle can be put in a package with a reduced size and can be easily stored or transported conveniently.
