So why was it cool when the girl did it, but not cool if you would do it. There seems to be a gap there. And yes I understand wives.

My ex was not cool with my bicycle commuting until, because of our routes, she was able to come up behind me, she driving and I cycling and see that even though I was not aware of being observed by her, I was cycling in a manner that she considered safe. Then I had her do the numbers on how much it would cost us for me to be driving and that sealed it.
