Just reading through this thread.
Can't imagine how I'd cope if my s.o wasn't into fitness and cycling as much as me.
It's a pretty good feeling when you both get back after a long ride (and luckily, we're both equally matched in terms of pace and ability) (and most other things actually!) and you just stand there grinning at one another cos you're both on a high.
And having someone to mooch round a bike store with, who doesn't mind looking at stuuuuuuuff for 3 hours and coming back either empty handed, or loaded to the hilt!
Guess I've taken it all for granted - never really thought about how I'd cope with a couch potato.
I honestly don't think I'd cope! I'll often toddle off and do my own thing, either to the gym or on my bike, but wouldn't want to do it all the time. Company is nice.
