Tandem Bike, 1891

Here is a nice design for a two wheeled tandem bike, with each rider's seat being directly above a wheel.  This is from 1891.

We saw a tandem similar to this in Canberra, Australia while riding our tandem 20,000 kilometres around the country.

We were offered the opportunity to ride it and considered giving it a go, until we learned no (living) tandem team had ever succeeded. We decided an injury with 4,000 k to go would not be good.
