keeping bike talk down around the non-bike person is one thing, but lessening your riding for someone else's jealous insecurities is unacceptable. my friend's girlfriend gets so butt hurt about his riding. of course, she's insanely jealous and insecure about herself and thus has to make it his burden instead of dealing with her self esteem herself. i suggested stuffing her in a matress and sending it down the river, but he hasn't found a good one yet.
