The Chainlink

This concept makes complete sense. Someone to ride with.  Someone you won't have to explain your bike collection to.  Someone that shares your first love (bikes). #VeloLove

"Organiser Marge rang the (bicycle) bell every three minutes and a new man came and sat opposite me (the men rotate, the women stay seated). Thinking about something new to talk about was surprisingly easy, from conversations about each other’s cycling, what we did for jobs, and even, with one man, his recent cycling trip to Scotland with his ex-wife."

This raises a few questions about N+1... Do you have people in your life that don't understand the need for more than one bike? Do you end up having to explain N+1 to non-bike people? 

I always have to explain N+1 to non-bike people, but my not-particularly-bikey SO understand and accepts my "need" to have 4-6 bikes and 4 cars :) I'm sure it didn't hurt that I built up a bike to give to her, though that does not go under my count.

3 minutes is short for the speed date mentioned.  All of the speed dates I had been on(5 total) had a 6 minute rotation and that still fell short.

I had 5 bikes at one time, now I just have the one. But do need to get a mt bike again, and a beach cruiser.
I like "dating" while riding, not really dating but having a relaxed conversation while on a ride or the after party exchange numbers then go play video games.

What is N+1?  I googled it and their definition just talks about a magazine.  

Here's the mathematical definition...

N is the number of bikes a cyclist owns. N+1 is the number of bikes a cyclist wants/needs. Most of us are never satisfied with N, we always want just one more bike. :-)

When I was dating I found that I only accepted profiles of people who at least casually biked.

And now my boyfriend keeps the tube of the first flat I fixed for him as a souvenir. :)

Aww, that's sweet. :-)
