Is there any support from the people on this forum for a dating site within bikeradar.com? Similar ones for like-minded people seem to have taken off on newspaper websites. Imagine the first, possibly lycra clad first dates...

Just a thought.

    I'm not interesting in dating as I'm a happily married lady. BUT, I think that would be a really interesting forum - I might not post but I'd definitely read it. :wink:

    There are only about 10 ladies on this site and most of them are already taken so I think traffic would be light.

    HOWEVER what would be great would be a "missed connections" section like they have in one of the free london papers

    e.g. "Euston Road traffic lights, yesterday evening. You: long blonde hair, Condor Fratello. Me: Spesh custom single speed, yellow gilet. I commented on your shiny cranks. You said my forks were cool. Fancy meeting up for some chainline fettling?"

    Good idea. Almost wish I was single again. :wink:

    There could always be a separate section for those who would prefer liaisons of a more, er, 'discreet' nature.

    Seems it would be quite popular... :wink:

    The bibshorts should be compulsory on any first 'dates' in order to allow some thinking time and slow down some of our more impulsive er, members...

    some sites i've been on, such as ukclimbing.com and tri talk, organise big local piss ups which i think ought to be a laugh and give people common ground. perhaps we should follow suit?

    it could turn out rather messy though:

    getting bad:

    getting worse:

    http://cycling.union.shef.ac.uk/gallery ... ndex_3.htm

    please don't make it a dating site though as i won't be able to access it from work!

    I think loads of people out drinking in lycra could be amusing

    I'd avoid soho and the like though, you're just asking for trouble

    P.S. Mr El Presidente,
    I didn't say your forks were cool ,I said a fork would be cool.
