Some cyclists love nothing more than starting to pedal and seeing where they end up. And this is a great idea when you’re flying solo.

But with a date? Well it’s incredibly likely that your love-interest has inflated their cycling prowess in order to make you feel better about dragging them for a ride in the cold. It may be that all that’s getting them through the cycle is the thought of a coffee/hot chocolate/entire bottle of wine at the end.

Or, if you don’t fancy finding a pub, you can just finish up beside a view you’re really into. Someone once rode with me to Finsbury Avenue Square on a date. There are lights in the ground that make it look a bit like you’re in the movie Tron. It was very cute.
