Many women on dating websites feel qualified to list their status as "Active" & "Physically Fit" if they tried WII within the last month, and are making some kind of effort at quitting smoking.
You have a
WIFE who RIDES BICYCLES WITH YOU!
What you have is precious. Please get a more comfortable saddle (or even a Rivendell or something) and learn to find the joy in slow (or even erratic) speeds with your sweetheart.
Riding
with my beloved gf is my second favorite activity in life.
You said it Calamarichris! It's wonderful to have your girl riding with you... I got it her into it because of a charityride we did together ( also with five of her best friends ). Besides that, I first gave her my moms old peugeot which I brought back to life, then gave her a faster one and eventually a beautiful c&v bike. So now she has almost as many bikes as I do for several occassions. There's no excuse for not riding along anymore!
