I remember seeing a thread somewhere, that a wife was going to get her husband the latest USPS Jersey. That was pretty cool.
I, on the other hand have been mulling over getting myself a roadbike. I currently own a MTN Bike (for about 6 months now) which I use on my 12 mile round trip commute. I love it tons but I haven't and don't see myself on trails anytime soon (or ever). On the pavement though, I feel quite limited outside the commute. Those who I see use the MTN bike on the road here in LA are usually purely for short, recreational rides (obviously it's not the case for everyone but I am still looking for a road touring MTN bike club in LA).
ANNNNYWAY, my wife knows about my dilemna, and the fact that it's my 30th b-day in a month. My meager attempts to justify cramming a new bike into our one bedroom apartment just don't hack it for me.
So what does she do?
She asks me to teach her to ride a bike so she can take mine and I can buy (with her help) the road bike I've always wanted.
Two birds with one stone, the bike and my best friend as my new biking partner. LIFE IS GOOD.
I'll probably have more questions later so as no to get screwed over or overboard with what I buy but I felt like sharing on how lucky I am.
