Biking is my therapy, hobby and my sport. My wife like to walk with the dog, garden and do exercise classes 2x a week, same thing. The old work/ life balance. My car commute takes 1hr, back roads to Boston. In good weather the bike takes 20 minutes longer with some nice bike paths. OP, my better half digs my thinner waist and nice legs, working for you? What is the time difference between the bike /car? She also likes the great overall health and good blood pressure. Can you help with dinner prep or other? Overnight oatmeal in slow cooker is awesome. Just get up and scoop. Could you drive partway and pedal the rest? So many options. Report back.
