Thanks.
So let me get this straight...you actually want to bring your wife with you on your ride? I thought the point of riding was to get away from them.
Seriously, I would like to be able to ride with my wife more often. My wife is very physically active and works out every morning at 4:30 AM at the local gym, just so i have time to ride before work. The fact that we have little ones at home makes it even more difficult for us to ride together.
We do the whole family deal, where we pull my youngest in the trailer and my 6 yr old rides his bike. He usually crashes at least once, then they usually get irritable and want to go home. So 5 miles is about the max for this type of outing.
I have only gotten to ride with my wife one time alone, ever! We rode about 12 miles and it was fun riding with her. Actually out of the thousands of miles i have ridden these were probably 12 of the best. It was fun sharing cycling with her. I hope to be able to do more of this when the kids get older.
