Meet your partner through LFGSS?

Hi, my name is Kaya Burgess and I am a reporter at The Times newspaper. I have run our 'Cities Fit for Cycling' campaign (aka #cyclesafe) for several years. On a separate theme, I am researching an article about people who met their partner on the internet, but not on a dating site. eg: you got chatting as you both like same Spotify playlists, play the same online game, use the same forum, argued on Twitter, have mutual friends on Facebook and spotted each other's profiles...

I understand a number of people have met their partner/spouse via the LFGSS forum and was wondering if you might be happy to share your story about how you first got chatting on the forum and how it went from there to meeting in real life and ending up as a couple. Please do drop me an email on kaya.burgess@thetimes.co.uk or on Twitter at @kayaburgess or drop me a reply here!

Thanks very much and I look forward to hearing your stories.

Kaya

I approve of this... in fact I asked him to ask here rather than me to give names of people I know are couples... because it's your choice as to whether to engage. That said, I follow Kaya on Twitter because he has been doing the cycle related stuff so well.

Me and LadyLiz met the good old fashioned way but I like this idea, there’s some ace couples on here!

the good old fashioned way

Tinder?!;)

Nah, blagged a rollup off me, then asked to plait my hair and buy her a jäger bomb outside the student union. Standard.
That was 11yrs ago, only slightly longer than I’ve been on here

Jokez innit. Despite checking all the millennial boxes, I've never tindered. My sister got herself a 'stralian through it, and now lives on the other side of globe!

But my other friends and acquaintances mainly use it to spread their stis though

I'm on Elite Singles (ironically) I call it "Scrapheap Challenge" at my age. Nice idea for a thread though @kayburge

So where are these couples?
We're all waiting for a good bit of old fashioned gossip here!

Unless by couple you guys mean falling in love with that particular bike
