I am hoping biking will have a positive effect on our relationship. I have lost about 65 pounds in the last 8 months and have become way more active - running, biking and lifting. I think he's felt a bit left behind in the process, because he needs to lose some weight too, but it just hasn't happened for him.

We just bought him a new bike this past weekend and we're going to start biking together on the weekends. He'll be on his new fast bike, and I'll be on my old bike pulling the bike trailer with our 2 kids. He thinks he'll be slower than me, but I doubt it.

Although our relationship hasn't been strained, we aren't as close as we were before kids. I hope having some family time like this will help a bit...
