Romance in the Saddle

Some say there’s no romance in bicycling, just sweat and aching muscles.  But this story shows that good things besides coffee and muffins can happen on a ride.

The couple was part of a riding group and he was dying to ask her out but lacked the courage.  Then one day at a stop sign she feel off her bike into him, and he took a spill as well, injuring his knee.

What better opening to say: “What are you doing Saturday night?”  Six months later they were engaged, and then this weekend they were married a la velo.  After the ceremony the Memphis couple let a large group of friends and fellow cyclists to a local beauty salon and spa for a reception.

And they stayed in gear every after.
