Well- my hubby and I used to be the same way- we had so many shared interests.

Now- he just wants to sit on the couch and watch the big screen.

He eats a bag of cookies or chips a night.

When I first met him, he was a cyclist - I just messed around on my bike- he rode centuries! I fell in love with his legs....awesome...

he was the first guy I'd ever seen wear cycling shorts...real ones - with a real leather chamois.
His Fuji 12 speed - wow! a 12 speed- people then had just gotten into 10 speeds - cost him a grand at the time...
he was hard core.

Now - we've both had phases on and off the bike...
he trashed the front fork of the Fuji about 12 years ago and never got it fixed. It has pride of place in the shed though...we still have it.

I bought him a bike last Xmas - a mountain bike... a sturdy mountain bike to deal with his now Clydesdale physique. big 2.25 tires...but the frame is more diamond shaped, and bigger since he uses it mostly to ride to work.

He won't even consider riding with me. Singletrack - forget it!

I was stunned when he decided to do the Heart and Stroke 50 k ride with me...

Anyway- my last resort is to get my gearhead friend- to take a look at the Fuji- see what it needs to be refurbished-
and then go online to find replacement parts...

It's so tough- I want to ride with someone- sometimes it's so hard to get out on the bike by myself...but I can't compete with the tube...
