Clean shorts time.
Chances of this happening?
Schram!
I would go but I think currently I am too fat for dating
Couldn't imagine anything worse than my other half loving cycling, wouldn't be able to sneak expensive bike parts into the house claiming they're old or cheap

No need to sneak - they would surely understand why you absolutely needed them.
Aye - we both cycle. Bike count = 2 each (#3 on the way for me...)
Main problem is when one finds a new and shiny component upgrade, the other tends to want one as well which can make things expensive.
Best bit is there's no need to explain why you want to go out for a bike ride - and spending time together having a laugh out on the road in the countryside is pretty great as well
sounds very interesting, although i'm neither a londoner, or in the age range :-(. but if any ladies want to contact me, i'm definitely single, and love cycling :-).
Is there a Strava Kom for the fastest lap? Or fastest rejection?
Can you ride tandem?
(Showing my age now).
Avez vous cuppa?
(Me too)
Speed dating is one thing but what do you get for being the best climber?
What is the opposite of a sausagefest?
A gathering of females
A clam chowder.
Please bring picture of bike.
... "bike(s)", surely?
Can't favour one of my darlings over another
