Mrs. Slim doesn't ride, but is supportive of my habit. She sagged for me on my solo century and will follow me down California on my SF to La trip, picking up my laundry on Day 3 (and the laundry of others) and give it back the next day. She enjoys the peace and quiet when I am gone on my rides. She has never complained about any money spent on biking (albeit, I don't go overboard).
