So yeah, I recant. Just went and had dinner with the wife, noticed her tank was nearly on empty and stopped to fill it up. 44 freakin' dollars. I could have bought the pedals I want for that...
To be fair, if I had her commute, I wouldn't be taking the bike. Too long, starts too early in the morning, no sort of shower facilities and she has to dress professionally. So goes life. Hopefully when I get my degree, we can be a little more strategic when it comes to work and where we live.
