Santana Cycles is the world's leading manufacturer of tandem bicycles.[1] Santana was founded in 1976 by Bill McCready, an Associate Editor at Bicycling Magazine, and is located in La Verne, California.[2] In the 1970s "Santana virtually re-invented the tandem, which had been in decline since the second world war."[1] In 2002, Santana was described as the largest manufacturer of "enthusiast level" tandem bicycles.[3]
