I dropped my car off for service this morning with my bike on the rack. I rode an EZ 6 miles home in a half-hour including traffic stops. This is the only way to drop a car off, believe me.
As to getting your boyfriend motivated to ride, I can empathize. My wife and I bought our bikes together 3 months ago. I've ridden 560 miles, and she's ridden 54.
