As a cyclist who's SO/partner also cycles alot for many years, there things that you are in sych for empathizing whenever the SO:
*can't cycle /must reduce cycling time temporarily..due to injury / illness. (Like right now he has problem with left shoulder and may be forced to reduce cycling time in Germany)
*must cycle for the whole day in isolated areas to find the next hotel on a multi-day/multi-wk. trip
*must do the above, with panniers' weight
*complains about dangerous drivers We feel for them..acutely.
*praises considerate drivers
*loves a beautiful, peaceful road for hrs.
*smells cycling funky. Ok, I'll still hug you too. You can get my funkiness too.![]()
*is amazed that an uphill road, can occasionally feel....like descending. You know those wierd roads..occasionally.
*curses the fierce headwind uphill
*streaks blithely on tailwind uphill
*tracking cycling mileage..all the time. I forgive your obsession..
*amassing a collection of cycling maps from all over...North America, etc.
*looking at cycling facilities whenever you both go on trip..well, I have not choice. I have to follow him or I get abit lost..
Cycling love is indeed an added benefit to a loving relationshiip.
