Two people on a bicycle
No, not a tandem.
My girlfriend lives about 20 minutes walking distance from me. I have a bike, but she doesn't. It's effing cold for half the year here in Chicago so she doesn't want to have to walk back and forth all the time. Does anybody make a bicycle seat that fits two people? I don't want to have to buy another bike, and even then I would never ride a tandem.
I'm converting the bike to an electric bike so pedal power won't be a problem. Not to mention she weighs like 100 lbs.
Something like this maybe? http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/0/05/300px-Raleigh_chopper_01.jpg |

Re: Two people on a bicycle
You can buy stunt pegs to go on the back axle so she could presumably stand on them while you pedal.

Re: Two people on a bicycle
If you have a flat bar between your handlebars or something else that would make it easy to sit there, like ape-hangers. Then just wrap it with some neoprene foam, and you have a second seat.

Re: Two people on a bicycle
Dub her on the handle bars, or the top pipe between the seat and handlebars. That or pegs as Argon suggested. If you get keen, pegs and a rack on the back. Chuck a cushion in the carrier.
By rack I mean one of these

I don't think pegs fit too well on geared bikes so you may need to machine your own.

Re: Two people on a bicycle
As long as the dropout is big enough pegs will work. You might need spacers though if your axle isn't 14mm or 3/8".
All that's stupid though. Get her a bike.

Just bought this yesterday:

I like it. Needs a little work, but it runs. Currently ~35mph tops. I probably paid too much for it but it's fucking cool so I don't care.

How come nobody else thought of this? If you can afford to go electric, you can get a second bike.
