It's so tempting to just buy the bike and see what the wife does when she finds out.
That is all.
That is all.

As long as the colicy baby stays in the bedroom, I like it very much.
Before I use you as a role model, how many wives have you had?
Nice. Mind if I bring the baby along? He won't drink much of the beer.
There's a reason I posted here and not the pregnancy forums.

No, but I'm pretty sure my wife has managed to vote 3 times.
I already have talked with her, and have been awaiting her decision (with no bike to ride) for 2 weeks now. In that time, I have gained 3 lb (on top of the 23 I gained during the pregnancy) with no reversal in sight.
She has no interest in riding, although she is considering an elliptical bike in a few years for family rides around the park.
lmao Saw that movie a couple months ago, and it was hilarious. You can even call mine "Pedro".

One of those was me.
Never let it be said that Velo Vol (who is single) doesn't respect the sanctity of marriage . . . for someone else.

Dude, 26 pounds? Get a bike fast. You are out of control. She will thank you later.

I vote "yes" because generally this is what I do, but here's the deal. Know your wife. Every wife is different.

One of the Main Rules:
In questions of an emotional nature, the thing you find hardest to do is generally the thing you should do...
Only you can answer this question. None of us can even help.
P.S. Most divorces evolve out of scenarios where asking forgiveness is unsuccessful. Few divorces come from asking permission.

Hey buzzkill, if I wanted serious advice, I would have called up her father. That does remind me, though: I have never cheated on her. Shouldn't that be a selling point?
