My brother and I are planning to build a tandem bicycle where the riders sit back to back. The rider in the back will be facing backwards but pedaling as if they are going forward. We've got a design drawn up and a set of 4" wide wheels to start off with. If anyone could tell me how to post pictures on here, I would be happy to show the drawing and wheels we have.

That is cool, welcome neewb! It looks like you have been here before!
 
Interesting concept, go for it.
 
This build ought to be cool. Get a couple of jack shafts and gears in there so the rear facing rider doesn't have to peddle backwards. You could also do a retordirect chain drive on the rear and accomplish the same.

Tater, if you look at my first drawing you'll see the chain on the rear (left side) is going over the sprocket instead of around so pedals go opposite directions.

Uncle Fide, I have a neighbor that owns a laser cutting shop. I drew up a template and took it over to him.
