All I can dig up is that it was patented by Frederick W. Schwinn, patented June 5, 1945
It 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.
