I hope you sort this one out and that he understands his gift helped you to go "further". Do you plan to cycle that bike after getting 2nd bike?
Buried in all this, is your capacity because you have a larger salary, to buy a 2nd bike, etc.
I did get my folding bike as a gift and am only able to bike it when at 2nd home and for longer touring rides. But he knows and would agree that where I work commute, it would be tough on the bike weather-wise. (and I'm also afraid it looks more desirable to steal...). I genuinely express my delight every time I do bike my gift because it is more nimble and a lighter bike than my daily use bike for commuting, everything else. This bike, his gift rides and feels like a wonderful "treat" to me.
His gift bike..bought 3 years ago has served and continues to serve me well. We've been biking together for past 20 yrs. I have 3 other bikes which I bought myself.
He complains mildly about my pile of brand new art supplies but knows how complicated it has been to split my stuff between 2 locations. And he knows he gets the gifts etc., from me...my art.
