DBF is like that w/ me too. I got a road bike basically just so I could keep up w/ him on his hybrid (if he ever got a road bike I would be sucking dust big time) NOW he doesn't like it because I can keep up w/ him and ride farther. I told him it is his fault because if he had just slowed down a little and waited for me I would never have felt the need for a new bike, started doing tours, then metric centuries, then centuries and now triathlons

Hopefully this will just motivate your DBF to work a little harder. DON'T you dare coddle him to feed his ego - lesson learned for him - you don't work as hard you pay the price (there that is MOM talking ( I think I am the oldest one here :P
