What To Tell My Husband?

[Mr. Bloom]

I have my own disposable income that lately I've noticed seems to be going towards anything bike-related. I feel guilty spending OUR money on MY hobbies.

If it's a great deal, it gets you to the next level at a discount, and he'll understand...I'd go for it. I don't think that you should feel guilty about wanting it if you have the means.

If he's really not going to understand or if it strains your budget, the "wedge" caused by just doing it is not worth the few dollars you'd save.

But, my guess is that if he recognizes the benefits you derive from cycling and see it as a healthy activity for you, he'll be understanding and supportive.

Good luck.

Oh.. my fave answer to this.. on a previous TE post about a year ago was....

Tsk, Tsk! You think men are so shallow

But it will probably work

I can't help thinking that if this were the 50's or 60's we would all be talking about a new dress, and not a bike
but I wonder how much different our conversation would be

I will have to remember that answer from Roguedog, in case I ever have an SO again

Of course it would be even better if the sex came first, and then hubby bought the bike as a gift. But maybe that somehow got lost in the exchange of a new frock for a bike.

So by now, you looked at the bike.
I take it from your lack of a post that you didn't get it?
How'd it go?

Thanks for checking in on me, Regina. Sadly, the guy said it was taken. I had been e-mailing him and he was slow to respond and he finally told me that it had been taken. I guess it wasn't meant to be. Still checking out the CL daily. I noticed there was a Giant CR3 going for $500 which I know is a great bike but just out of what I was budgeting for a roadie.
