Just like on TV: Real-life bike bachelors and bachelorettes quizzed a blind panel to find someone to take on a date, courtesy of our fabulous sponsors.

Thanks to everyone who made Love on Wheels a blast! Friday, February 12, hundreds of bike lovers filled the Rickshaw Stop with good vibrations and friendly faces to get ten of our members dates in time for Valentine's Day. A special thanks to Constance for pulling it all together, Sacha for securing sponsorships and thank you to our amazing volunteers and sponsors who made the lovefest possible. You are the best!

Thanks also to: DJ Jamie Jams for bringing the tunes!

Are cyclists better lovers?

Cupid

Clearly, yes! Cycling women are known to be low-maintenance, more independent, and more fun-loving than women who wear makeup to the gym.

For men, cycling seems to be a natural Viagra. An Italian study found that bicycling for transportation, frequently prescribed in Europe to strengthen the cardiovascular system in heart failure patients, also improved sexual performance. Dr. Romualdo Belardinelli, director of the Lancisi Heart Institute in Ancona, Italy, found that participants' blood flow and ability to use oxygen improved as a result of the simple daily exercise. Belardinelli feels the results of aerobic exercise like bicycling are comparable to those of Viagra, because both widen blood vessels.

What about the perception that too much bike riding could cause impotence? Health experts agree that the tremendous cardiovascular fitness conveyed by cycling will usually outweigh any minor impacts that might occur from ordinary riding. Sexual performance becomes noticeably improved in most cases. Men can experience stronger "thrusting muscles," a heightened sex drive, reduced stress, and longer endurance - hurrah! - from cycling regularly.
