I guess I'm one of the lucky ones too. My sister (older by 6 years) does ride, with her husband, but only easy MUP types and not big miles. But hey, no worries.

She doesn't give me trouble about anything, least of all my riding double centuries and spending big money (compared to her) on bikes. Her daughter runs marathons, so that's a similar mentality to riding doubles, and maybe that's why it's not big deal.

Works for me anyway!
