OLIVIERI TWIN BICYCLES
Exploring places side-by-side
A different way to explore pathways, scenery, and conversation together.
Why we built the Twin Bike
The Twin Bike began as a personal project after hip replacement surgeries and medical advice to avoid riding a conventional bicycle because of the increased risk of falling.
What started as a way to continue enjoying cycling together gradually evolved into years of design, testing, and riding. Most of our rides have taken place on the Paseo Lineal del Río Bayamón and, in earlier years, on the quiet residential streets of Dorado.
The project has also led us to explore cycling paths and rail trails in Puerto Rico, the United States, and Europe, including visits to Eurobike in Germany and Velo-city in Gdańsk.
Today, we continue to share our experiences while learning about routes and destinations well suited to side-by-side riding.
Two bicycles that move together, naturally
The Twin Bike
The side-by-side arrangement lets both riders share the same scenery, conversation, and pace. It is not a rigid assembly.
Leans into turns like a conventional bike
Each wheel adapts to uneven surfaces
Years of testing and refinement have helped shape a riding experience that feels natural from the very first ride.
This opens recreational cycling to people who might otherwise not ride a traditional single bicycle.

Experience the Twin Bike
Reading about the Twin Bike is one thing—experiencing it is another.
If you are curious about this unique way of riding, we would be pleased to introduce you to the Twin Bike with a demonstration and test ride.
We are especially interested in learning from your experience. Your comments and suggestions will help guide the continued development of the project.
If you know of pathways, scenic trails, resorts, parks, or route initiatives that may be suitable for side-by-side riding, we would also be delighted to hear from you.
