    Trek, LOL! I've noticed that the longer a woman is married the larger her handbag is. I'm pretty sure it's to hold some of his things though he'll deny it.

    when I first got married I was a pack mule for dh. then the kids came and I became a pack mule for my children. Since my kids have left home I have consistently downsized my purse. I now carry a wallet and ride with only an underseat tool bag and what I can carry in three jersey pockets. My husband now knows better than to ask me to carry anything for him or ask me to pack his gear bucket for charity rides or tours. It probably helps that we ride at different speeds but there is no reason in the world why anyone should be responsible for any one else's needs or whims, much less his buds or pack.

    Speak up and point out if it bitthering you- communciation is the best solution for a successful marriage.

    I've taken to filling my husband's bag for him. Everything from the spare tube to the mini-tool, which was only just recently when I realized he never had one. I think he's just been hoping I'll be around should anything go awry.

    I just bought a small backpack for long rides. For discarded clothes on rides where the temp rises...and sunblock. And whatever other crap DH needs me to carry.

    Maybe the Queen is carrying enough stuff for all of Britain in her bag!
