Men wanted for Cycle Speed Dating in London

Event takes place on 15 September at Look Mum No Hands pop-up on South Bank

A call has gone out for male cyclists in London to sign up for a Cycle Speed Dating event later this month, after all of the tickets available for women sold out.

The event takes place at the Look Mum No Hands pop-up on the South Bank under Hungerford Bridge on 15 September, with registration open from 7.30pm and the speed-dating starting at 8pm.

To attend, you need to buy a ticket in advance – they cost £15 plus 75p booking fee, and you get a free beer thrown in, too.

Tickets can be booked here, and there’s also a full overview of what to expect on the evening plus an FAQ to answer any questions you may have.

Attendees should be aged between 25 and 40, although as organisers point out, “age is just a number,” so there’s some leeway there.

They also ask that you only attend if you are, in fact, single and not attached.

So if you’re already in a relationship, it’s won’t be for you - Pashley Madison, it isn't ...

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  2

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
