in the last three years the missus has bought me three bikes, the latest being a tasty lappierre s-lite just picked up this very afternoon. So I think it's fair to say she's not got a problem with it. I think she just prefers it when I'm not in the house. I could be offended, but I put up with it.

My wife is at least as enthusiastic as I am - perhaps more. She was the one who persuaded me that we should lash out over £2500 for a new tandem a few weeks ago. She rides 200km Audaxes that I find impossible these days because of extreme shoulder/neck pain. Not bad for a 69 year old of either gender.

She doesn't even mind the money I spend on toy aeroplanes which can cost even more than bicycles. Especially when I dumb thumb and end up with a heap of balsa in a bin liner Smile

If you ever decide to sell her in the classifieds section let me know Wink

she did leave me in the lurch a few weeks ago, went in for a heart operation without showing me how to use the washing machine. Got the hang of it eventually with a bit of trial and error. Couldn't work out why the clothes were coming out hot but hacky. Had put it on the drier setting. Doh. She's got a mountain of ironing to do though when she's back on her feet.

My missus and I fight about bikes all the time! She keeps telling me to buy another one and I keep telling her I can't afford it! Shocked

Honestly though, she never has any problem with me going out on the bike or buying kit. Last week she was even my mechanic at a cross race, cleaning my bike every few laps Not sure how it will be once the kids come along though....

She doesn't understand why I do things that make me hurt later (but she likes the results.)

A couple of nights ago she said "so this is what it would be like to be a lesbian" as it was me that was shaving my legs and complaining about my weight!

Probably the same for me.

She doesn't doesn't understand why you can't ride on a dirty bike either. IT MUST BE GLEAMING AT ALL TIMES!

As long as I don't bring dirty bikes through the house, She who must be obeyed, is pretty good about the bikes. She does like helping me pick clothing and pursueded me to buy a more expensive bike from a LBS rather than online.

Norfolk, who nicked all the hills?
