What could be more romantic than a bicycle built for two — especially if it travels with you? Bike Friday, maker of lightweight folding travel bikes, now offers a tandem bike with two seats, two sets of pedal, and two sets of handle bars, plus a wide range of gearing and solid braking power. Weighing in at about 38 pounds, the Tandem Two’sDay must be disassembled into two folding pieces for travel (the two parts pack into the included 34-by-38-by-14-inch soft BF TravelBag for car travel or two optional hard Flite cases that meet the checked baggage limitations of most international carriers. Takes a little practice to get the hang of taking the bike apart and putting it back together, but riding it is a breeze — assuming you don’t get into navigational disagreements. Tandem Two’sDay Tour Folding Bicycle, starts at $2,975; optional hard Flite cases with tools (11314), $430 a pair, or 800-777-0258.
