Divvy Bikes Partners With Dating Service

Now you can look for love at a Divvy Bikes docking station. The city's bike sharing program has teamed up with a dating service called Project Fixup, a local dating service, to set up prospective couples on Divvy-themed bike dates.
The service costs $15 and is refundable if Project Fixup can't find you a date. But since their business is setting people up, you can almost be assured they'll find someone for you. All any lonely singles need to do is fill out a quick online questionnaire, upload some (hopefully recent) photos and let Project Fixup work their magic. The service sets up singles on themed-dates focusing on popular activities and interests such as sports, politics (who would want to discuss politics on a blind date?), wine, etc. You sign up for the themes you're interested in and Project Fixup does the rest.
This sounds interesting, especially since the weather finally feels like August around here. After all, you're going to get sweaty pedaling one of those heavy Divvy bikes and so will your date. If you do find a love connection, we suggest returning your bikes to the docking station at Addison and Pine Grove and making out loudly and passionately like you're in fucking Paris.
