A Seattle bike shop is hosting a bicycle speed dating event.

If you can maintain pace, keep your grip on the handlebars, all while keeping up conversation on a three-minute first date, this might be the event for you.

Riders will take off from Hub and Bespoke bike shop in Fremont on Tuesday August 9.

Single attendees will be matched up with prospective partners for a three-minute “slow ride,” arranged by the organizers.

Interested singles must bring their own bike to participate, and register with Hub and Bespoke to be assured of a spot.
