    Hey there Mom... your DH obviously hasn't considered the purpose of different bikes and the need for a decent stable...

    Hmmm... I only have three (a racing/training bike and a time trial race/training bike and an off-roader).

    Here's what I am working towards...
    a road race bike, and a road-race traing bike...
    a time trial bike and a time trial training bike
    my off-road bike
    (plus the SPIN bike of course - none of my fold goes on a stationary trainer!)

    Now thats 5... FIVE.... that means you and your DH should have more than 2 each in your stable... you commute, right? So you could have your commute bike, an off-road bike for trails, a specific bike for those long rides you do and another bike set up the same as your century bike for you to train on... thats 4 bikes at least...

    You have to go have a chat with your DH... limiting you to just 2 is really quuite unreasonable!


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    That's funny. My DH hasn't said anything yet about the two bikes parked across the room from his baby grand, but if I add a couple more .....

    To be fair, he said that after the stinky job of cleaning out the shed to make room for his new 'bent. The poor guy probably didn't want to find room for another bike.

    Actually, HE commutes, I walk to work (too close to ride) and work the other job at home. But, yeah, I can think of several bikes I'd like to add to the stable, with a good reason for each one.

    And I don't want to sell either Walter or William to get them!
    Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
