Depends on how fit the riders are. With two fit riders, a tandem can outclimb two solo riders.

different kinds of bikes. Boneshakers were early (mainly) wooden bikes which you simply straddled and kicked yourself along with, velocipede is/was the french name for bikes, and tandem is a bike built for two.
What is the difference between pedal bikes and gear bikes?
Your question doesn't really make sense, as geared bikes also have pedals.Basically there's a difference between single-speed bikes(like BMXes) and road bikes/MTBs.On a single-speed bike the rear wheel will turn at the same rate when compared to the pedals all the time.If you want to ride uphill, you have to push harder, and the faster you go, the faster you have to spin the pedals.On a geared bike it's possible to change the gear ratiobetween the pedals and the rear wheel. This means that you can trade power for speed , or the other way around.If going uphill is heavy, you just drop down a gear. It'll lose you some speed, but it'll make you stronger at the same time so that you'll be able to climb the hill.
Is a heavier bike faster than a lighter bike?
NOOOO! Do not make that mistake!! A lighter bike is a better bike. I own a Specialized FSR Comp that weighs about 30lbs, but I'll probably lighten it. Lighter bikes are much easier to uphill as well.
What type of bike has two seats?
A tandem bike has two seats, and two handle bars. The seats are NOT side by side, and the only the front steering wheel can turn. They make tandem bicycles for adults, but there are a lot of tandem bikes that are designed for an adult in front and a child in the back.
What does single speed for a bike mean?
Single speed bicycles have some advantages over multi-speed bikes. For the same build quality, a single speed bicycle can be cheaper and lighter. They require less maintenance and have fewer parts that can break or fail.

Schwinn, patented June 5, 1945It is said that tandem bikes were invented by Mikael Pederson in the 19th century who patented his tandem version of his Pederson bicycle around 1898.In a tandem, two or more riders sit behind each other. In 1898, in England, Danish inventor Mikael Pedersen developed a two-rider tandem version of his Pedersen bicycle. This was the first tandem.
What is a tandem cluster?
Question doesn't quite make sense. Tandem is a bike meant for two, cluster is used as a synonym for cassette, the set of sprockets at the rear giving the different gear ratios. I suppose there could be a tandem specific cassette, but I've never heard of one.^^^ LOL! Idiot. ^^^Tandem clusters are identical copies of genes that are all transcribed at the same time. . . they have nothing to do with bikes or cassettes.
