How about other things you can lose a lot of money on, like cars..... Suppose it's 5 miles to work, and it's a relatively low traffic trip. Now you can buy a second car for that trip, add on gas, insurance, fees, maintenance, for one year. How much bicycle could you buy for the same number of dollars?
Hint, cars cost a lot more then most people think.....

You sure she will get over it, he might end up spending the winter bunking out with the dog. The only real solution, is to find a way for her to get something of equal value, like the garage cleaned out and painted Something you have been promising to do since Nixon was president....
