I am no longer married. Before we got married, my BF introduced me to cycling, for which I will be eternally grateful. In hindsight, I can see that the whole cycling experience with him, from bike-buying to how mechanicals got handled, from attitudes toward me and others on training rides to tours, etc, was a little thumbnail sketch reflection of our approaches to people and situations in life.

Hindsight is 20/20. Wish I had known how to pay attention back then to the things that made me uncomfortable in those situations.

As I said, however, we are semi-friends, and I will always be grateful that because of him I got into cycling.
