I'm 33. I'm not grown up enough to be married.

You should seriously consider a recumbent.

Pretty reasonable, no?
Javna, you're looking for approval from a woman. Tssk, tssk, tssk. Not a good sign.

If I ever get married it's going to be one of those 1950s type marriages.
That's what we all think going in, but then reality lands with a big thump.

A perfect example of collaboration working to a great solution. I get a great bike and my wife doesn't need to worry about finding a present. Only thing I need to do is come to terms with how much I want to spend. It isn't a problem affording $3k for the bike I want, but more the principle of that being a lot of money "just for a bike". Like those adds say...just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
