Tandem

Tandem is Lund’s giant tandem bicycle race!

Each year, every nation elects new Tandem generals to lead their nation in a tandem bicycle race from Gothenburg to Lund. It’s one of Lund University’s biggest events with over 1000 students taking part every year.

To start the adventure, we rent a bus to take us all the way up to Gothenburg, where the race starts. After some traditional songs and festivities, it’s a competition to see who makes it back first! We take shifts on tandem bicycles as we ride through the night all the way back to Lund. The Tandem competition is one of the best experiences one can have while studying at Lund University.

This year, the first tandem race since 2019 took place as it did not take place during the pandemic or during the year of LundaKarnevalen.

Tandem ‘23 took place on May 12th and 13th.
