I bought my last bike from an obliging LBS that specialises in the creation of spouse receipts. These can be carefully crafted to reflect the amount of agreed spend, and can then be left lying on the nightstand.
I also have so many bikes that she has literally lost count: I recently posted on FB some pictures of a bike I had just finished fettling, and was falsely accused of acquiring yet another bike. I explained that it was one bought last year (true) and that we had discussed it (true yet again); she remembered the conversation and proceeded to eat a sizeable portion of humble pie. I hope this will prevent future challenges!
I never question why a woman who already has a wardrobe full of handbags needs yet another one, so I am not worried about my cycling addiction.
