That's what the dogs are for: keep the bikes in line!.....my bikes live in fear of having their tires bit!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Cycling single:
- if you happen to pedal up to a really cute other cyclist (name your gender) and spend a bit of time flirting them up, you can go home with no guilt
- if you happen to bring said cyclist home for a little "off the bike" exercise, you won't get shot
- no fighting over the TV remote (you want to watch the TDF, the live-in wants to watch old "Dallas" re-runs)
spazzno regrets!
My ride: 2003 Specialized Allez Comp - zebra (men's 52cm), Speedplay X5 pedals, Koobi Au Enduro saddle

Single was great! I did single for 34 years.
Married is great too, not better and not worse.
The key for me was finding another bike ride-aholic who's stable is as large as mine. He never complains about my buying bike stuff and I don't complain about his either. Actually, right now he really wants to get me to get a Blur (!) which I will when we can afford it. Life is good.
And I still get to see lycra butts everytime I go out (my DH still has the best, oh what riding does for one's posterior) and he's not jealous so I don't worry about socializing with other dudes when I'm riding, either.
It's the baby boy that's changed the where and when I ride. I wouldn't trade him for all the rides in the world (but I can't wait til he can mountain bike with me).
Life is good.
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

Our son's 17 month old (English) cocker-boy, Riley, spends his days at our house (with his littermate a permanent resident of 'our' house as well as his mother, uncle and grandmother you can see why we affectionately call this 'Camp Cocker'

Our carbon's who reside on a rack in our dining room as well as our 'other road bikes' who keep us in cycling shape on trainers in our downstairs family room all live in fear of Riley ... boy dog in and out of the house and dog pack still trying to push it to the limit and see if he can pull off a coup and become thee top dog and claiming his part of the territory as only a boy dog can ...
Biting the tires is not what they're concerned about
