Instead of a triple, just buy a small sports car like I did. A used Mazda Miata cost about the same (probably less...) than my road bikes, and my wife can ride with me. No, I don't sit up nearly as high as I do on my bikes, but it's a trade off that I'm willing to accept. The short throw shifter is far smoother than either my DA or SRAM shifters, and the bento box-like trunk comes in handy if I want to take along a snack. I don't know the gear ratios, but I'm sure several of you guys will post a chart. And if you drive one too, please, please, don't flip your freakin' lights at me or expect me to wave. And yes, I DO notice an additional 1/4 lb weight difference when I drive it. Unless I shut off the AC.
