Yes, there is more than jealousy & insecurity, he is more concerned about my safety than I am, and doesn't buy into "I'm more likely to die of disease off my bike than injury on it" (even though that is true). There is also the adjustment of him not being in this with me, he said "I'm afraid you are going places I can't and don't want to" meaning partly a given bike trip and partly the biking in general.

Friday I told him "Get over it" (about the jealousy) and...after initially anger, he did, basically. In fact he said "I don't know how, tell me what to do," and I said "Go for a ride with Riding Buddy" and he said "Gee, you don't pull your punches, do you?"

Not overly burdened with tact or common sense, I managed to cause another disruption practically the next day, by leaving our daughter at home (he was in class) for a night bike ride. She is nearly 12 and she said she was ok with it, I had my cell phone, I didn't go more than ~30 min away home, albeit circuitously, and she could call me if she wanted me to come back. So now in addition to everything else I'm neglecting my responsibilities. :P
