No problems with the support in this household. When I first started riding I would get up at 5:30 ride for an hour, shower then drive the car to work. A while later I killed two birds with one stone by just riding my bike to work. Its 25 miles RT and I figure it takes away about 15 minutes a day of family time. My savings on gas for the car was more than enough to fund the accumulation of gadgets and clothing so that there was/is no financial issues either.
I don't do long weekend rides unless we go to the inlaws, then I ride and she takes the van (45 miles).
In my opinion its all about how much time you spend on an activity and what time of day you do it in. If there is something that I want to do and its a big time committment then I do my best to do a lot of it when everyone is in bed, ie. very early in the morning or late at night.
This system works for me, but then again my wife is an awesome girl!!
