CyclistsG.F.. I am just trying to be honest. Wish it possible you could try to share your boy friends love of cycling.At least to the best of your abilities and interest..They have packs to fit on his back to carry picnic supplies to some beautiful romantic spot.There you and he can get to by biking- the stress removing means of transportation. Then put down a cloth on the ground and contemplate what a beautiful ride it was; to this romantic spot, you might not frequent otherwise.
I find biking causes me to find locations, interesting business you would never see in a car. .....You can't do difficult riding for a year or so, ok......I am sure he is capable of adopting some of his riding time to your speed. It might enhance your relationship, should you be open minded.
I know too many cyclists. unless your boy friend is different from most- that I run into, it is in his blood. I know cyclists who have completed 200 miles in a day and now think of doing 300...If their spouses did not to some extent share in their passion, it would be hopeless..( heah, I have read of a refersal, where the woman cycles and the guy didn't) same problem.
Like me today..We have a committment, thinking we will go to a charity fundraiser late this afternoon.. My wife is a teacher..She must get her work done before we can go to this function...She keeps saying,I will know soon if we can go..
I am so impatient with this., she might not keep our committment- if work interferes.
I am like a caged lion..The sun is out and I could have gotten in another 40 miles. Cyclists friends have already stopped by seeing if all the group wants to go out and play....Feel so anxious.... Waiting for her to decide upon whether we will keep our plans..Had I gone out with them, probably would have not gotten back in time for the committment- she very well might not keep......Just an insight into the mind of a cyclist.
Heah, she just came into the room,she can go, so the day is not wasted..It is to rain tomorrow so no bike commute into work..See, I don't ride I think about riding on the net..
