Description
Join us for a fun speed dating night at The Canvas: London's first happy Café!
Come and kick-off the Valentine's weekend at The Canvas Cafe & Creative Space. The team behind Cycle Speed Dating has put together an evening full of speedy and not so speedy dates to get to know new people and have a fun night out!
You will meet 12+ fellow single Londoners during the night. Part of the dates will be 'classic' speed dates, where you get three minutes with the person opposite you. Don't worry if you're lost for words! Our hosts will help you out.
The not-so-speedy dates will give you the opportunity to get up from your chair, see how you are as a team and make you happy! They also include some carefully selected questions that will help you to decide if you'd like to see the person opposite you again.
There will be a break and time after the dates to get to know eachother better. Your ticket includes a delicious welcome drink. At the end of the night we ask you to tell us who you'd like to see again, we will email you your matches the day after the event.
The Canvas is a wonderful, cosy place where you can write on the walls, enjoy homemade food and be amazed by inspiring events.

Please note tickets are not refundable and we have the right to cancel the event at any time in which case you will receive a refund. We focus on Londoners between 25 and 40 years old during this event, but age is just a number! Men will date women and women will date men. We hope to organise events for other orientations soon. Love has no labels. Age is just a number. We refer to ‘men’ and ‘women’ but are aware there are many other shades of gender identity. Please find an overview of FAQ below and don't hesitate to email us if you have any further questions.

FAQ
Who are you?
We are a small team of single Londoners and we have been organising speed dating events for cyclists since 2013. Our events are fun and relaxed, we're excited to organise a completely new night at The Canvas!
Do I need to purchase my ticket in advance?
Yes, please do buy your ticket in advance, we want to get the balance right between the number of men and women so please book your ticket as soon as possible.
Can I bring a friend?
It's great to go on a speed dating session with a group of friends. You will surely make some memories! Everyone attending the event needs to hold a ticket. If you bring people for support, they can hang out in the café without a ticket during the event but can't participate.
I bought a ticket, now what?
Please wait for an email confirmation. We'll send you an email with all details a few days before the event.
I can't make it after all, can I get a refund?
Under some circumstances we can refund your ticket, but in general we can't, sorry! Feel free to pass you ticket on to someone who can make it (just make sure to update the information we hold). If you can't make it we kindly ask you to let us know.
Can I attend on my own?
Yes, this is the place to meet like-minded people and maybe even a very special person. If you're coming on your own then please don't be scared as there will be awesome souls around this evening. We're in it together.
It's my first time, what's a speed date like?
A speed date is a short date. This way you can meet about 12-16 people with similar interests in one evening.
The dates last three to four minutes, which is often enought to find out if you would like to see someone again.
We will split in two groups, one group will stay seated while the other group will change seats every three minutes when we ring the bicycle bell. The evening is split in two sessions. During the break you can relax for a little bit and grab a drink before the second session starts.
During this particular night, we are also including not-so-speedy dates where our hosts facilitate a date that is a little different but always fun! We invite you to get out of your chair, try something new, work as a team - this way you'll get to know someone in a different way!
Everyone attending the event will receive a piece of paper on which notes can be made about the people you meet and to let us know who you would like to meet again. After the event we will email you to let you know if there was a match. A match is when you both want to see each other again.
Cycle Speed Dating has brought couples together and also friendships have been formed since we started in 2013. It's also a good way to 'practise' dating and to get to know new people.
What happens if I like someone during the event?
Everyone attending the event will receive a piece of paper on which you can make notes about the people you meet and let us know if you would like to meet someone again. After the event we will email you to let you know if there was a match. A match is when you both want to see each other again.And of course, if you want, you can tell someone you like him/her during the event!
Does age matter?
Age is just a number, but based on experiences and feedback, we have decided to organise events for different age groups. This is not set in stone though. Email us at cyclespeeddating@gmail.com if you're unsure.
My age is not in the age range of the event, can I sign up anyway?
We have based the age range on research and experiences, but you will know best if this is the event for you.
What do I wear?
Come as you are.
What does my ticket include?
Your ticket includes one free drink, the professional hosting and an email afterwards with your matches.
I find it hard to start a conversation with a stranger, help?
We have chosen a wonderful location for the event which will make you feel at ease. Next to that we will provide little inspiration cards and items on the tables during the event to get the conversation started. Don't forget you probably have two things in common to start with: you're a Londoner and you're single!
What do I do when I don't like someone three minutes can take forever?
It might happen that you're dating someone you wouldn't pick on first sight. We will provide little inspiration cards and items on the tables during the event to help you get to know the person next to you. You might be surprised!
How do I contact you?
Please contact us via cyclespeeddating@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
