WoW! This thread delivers! There is more bashing than a typical 41 thread!
No verbal blunders for me (yet). I will post when I do though :D |

I said "Nah. It's a useful bike handling skill. How's he going to put some newspaper down his jersey going over the Gavia Pass if he can't ride no handed?" |
I tried the no hands thing like my wife suggested. The problem is the stop light.

My biggie wasn't a verbal plunder but more of a visual one. I showed her the video of my accident I got into before I reviewed it to see how bad it really looked. That was a BAD idea. She flipped out. I was able to calm her down and show her everything was fine. Then when she found out I didn't call the police or get the guys insurance info she really lost it. I certainly learned my lesson there.

Never got to finish my sentence, because she asked, in her you're-in-trouble voice: Have you been riding on streets one-handed?

I have; for 34 good years. I do make one voluntary concession when I ride with my wife, and not wear headphones. Not to avoid a safety lecture but only to facilitate conversation. Our conversation never involves how or when I should or shouldn't ride as my wife never interferes with my bicycling and I don't interfere with what she holds important.
