Buying a wife must be cheaper than buying all the bikes, mind you the monthly instalments will be very high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They may be cheaper to buy in the first place, but what about the long term running costs?

A lot more expensive than the odd set of cables or brake blocks.

Now where is that list about why bikes are better than women? It was posted on C+ a while ago.

11. You'll never hear, "Suprise, you're goning to own a new bicycle"
unless you go out and buy one yourself.
12. If your bicycle goes flat, you can fix it.

politics with it.

parts.

having to take it to dinner, see a movie, or meet its mother.
28. The only protection you need to wear when riding your bicycle is a
decent helmet.
29. When in mixed company, you can talk about what a great ride you
had the last time you were on your bicycle.

I acknowledge Cunobelin's post as being pure poetry. I had not read it before. I feel that you could add " Bikes don't heavier as they get older".

But, the underlying message of original post is deeply depressing. I feel sorry for you. Good luck for the future - you will need it.
