After many years of touring, shopping and local journeys by bike, my wife has now started commuting..... so far so good!
I have always equipped and maintained the bikes , however she now has started taking an interest in buying things like lights, clothes etc for herself.... this is bad news.
For example I "forgot" to tell her how much my lights actually cost, she decided that upgrading hers would be a good start and so she noted down the model and make and decided to go and get a set for herself..... she now has a shrewd idea of reality!
I can no longer sneak something through on the "it was about the same as one of your dresses" pricing vagueness.
So pros and cons, great that she has joined the ranks of cycle commuters, but not good that she is now more aware!
