So sorry your Friday hasn't made it's way to you yet - it's such a nice weekend for riding, too! I can't remember if our Fridays were late or came exactly on our promise date, or what, and before you know it you'll forget all about this week delay, but I do understand -- I've been impatient too when I've ordered a bike part or a jersey or something and really wanted it for an upcoming weekend or event, and it was late.

And more recently, when my mountain bike sat in the LBS for 3 weeks being tuned up, repaired, and having her crankset replaced. I was going insane. He had told me it would be "about two weeks" (they were swamped, I didn't buy the bike from them, and it was my first trip to this shop, so I didn't expect any preferential service), so of course when two weeks passed, I wanted my bike immediately! But now, a couple of months later, it's all water under the bridge.

And, like mtkitchn says, even if both your bikes had arrived late this week, there is a fair amount to do to put them together initially, so you might not have been riding them this weekend anyway. They come with a very helpful video, which we watched, stopping, rewinding, and watching parts again, as we put together our Crusoes, but it's not something I would have wanted to have to rush through on a week night after a long day at work. We were able to do it on the weekend. TIP: Take a photo of how everything is packed in the suitcase when you open it up. It helps when packing them back into the suitcase for travel later!

You'll be riding those Fridays before you know it!!! Can't wait to hear how you and your husband like them!
