Leave it there and buy a used bike for your Canada breaks. Hit CL and other places once you get in Canada. In reading between the lines, I see this as a delicate negotiation with you wife. You need to line up your arguments for another bike purchase in advance and rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. Look in the mirror as you practice so you can have that look of sincerity in your eyes. And, of course, use the argument "This is an investment in my health. How can you put a price tag on that?"
