tandems
Things arranged in twos
Tandems is the plural of tandem, which refers to arrangements where things are positioned one behind another rather than side by side.
A tandem bicycle seats two riders in line.
Tandem also describes coordinated action: working in tandem, the two departments operate in tandem.
Tandems can refer to the bicycles themselves, paired arrangements, or teams of horses harnessed one behind the other.
