The best kind of date: a bike date!

Looking for a fun, cheap and romantic Valentine’s Day date idea?

Go for a bike ride!

No mode of travel is more romantic than the bicycle, and there’s no better way to literally heat things up with your significant other.

Never been biking together before? Here’s your chance to try something new and bond in a new way. Whether you ride together for four miles or 40, you’ll feel great that you’ve done something good for your body, your brain and your relationship. You’ll make great memories on your ride and you can coast home on your shared rush of endorphins!

When asked about the best bike date he’s ever been on, Seattleite and Seattle Bike Blog writer Tom Fucoloro replied, “is there any other kind?” Swoon!

Take it from Cascade’s casanova Tim O’Connor, who says, “the best date spots are hidden places you can’t get to by car.” Sorry ladies, he’s taken.

Don’t have a sweetie or looking to celebrate a more fraternal love? Take a solo ride or join one of Cascade’s free group rides.

Dream date alert! Your not-so-secret admirers at Cascade Bicycle Club invite you to drop by your new Cascade Bicycling Center, for a free cup of locally-roasted coffee and a tour of our new facility, anytime Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

So throw caution to the wind and release your inhibitions. Fall in love (all over again) with your bicycle and your partner.

Here are some bike date ideas:

• Grab some picnic fixings, a bottle of romance, your best smile and hit the road. 
• Get something going–your wheels and your heart rate–and bike to a park or the beach.
• Sweep your partner off his/her/hir feet and onto two wheels. Head to the movies, a café or your favorite restaurant.
• Work up a sweat together and go for a longer pedal to your favorite destination.
