Got me onto my usual train of mad thoughts... how easy would it be to manufacture an articulated tandem? Or failing that, a mechanism for converting two bikes into one?
(I can't imagine that the second option would be easy, else we would have seen more of it about.)
Hang on, this name is already reserved for a bike with 6 wheels: www.m-gineering.nl/artic.htm (text is dutch only)
But back to the first question an articulated tandem is easy: get two old bikes, remove front wheel, spread fork and bolt to rear axle of other bike and ride round the block. No doubt properly engineered versions exist
With S&S couplers bikes exist where you can remove the center section -- --- Marten Gerritsen

It's bad enough asking for nipples after you've bought all the spokes to make up a wheel.

Depends...
if they're all in a line one behind the other, it's a tandem sextuplet.

If you ride one, it's called what you call it ;-)
If it's a Thorn it could Me 'n' You Five ('Come on Dad! Faster! Faster!'😉.
If it's all in line few would argue against sextuplet tandem, likewise sextuplet sociable for all abreast. But how about the other combos? For example two rows of three? --

Easy - but you have to join the Dark Side.

Coupling bracket to join two Kettweisels together. The front wheel of the second one is removed.

No, the Gare du Nord looks like this <http://www.carinzia.net/imagesf/DSCN1618.jpg>.
If you notice, the Lexus poster is in German and the buses do not look very Parisien.

Barely a passing resemblance, then!
Never mind, I'm off to Kiev this morning, so I won't read any follow ups further embarrassing myself!
