Hubby on a bike = progress :-)

[Jodee1kenobi]

After a looooooooooong time of trying to 'encourage' my hubby onto a bike , so we can enjoy family rides together, he finally got on a bike today!! And what did it take to achieve this?.........the purchase of a secondhand recumbent trike!!!

I'm so chuffed that I thought I would just share this with you all!

Congratulations.
I'm the opposite way around and perhaps more typical as I am always nagging my wife to ride her bike more. She will come on family rides just a few times a year but I keep suggesting she should commute at least once a week (just 2 miles each way) and should ride when she goes to the gym (why would anyone drive to the gym to exercise ).

Now you have had him on a bike once hopefully the bug will bite and he will soon be looking for n+1

Nah, if you've got a recumbent trike, you don't need n+1!

(ok, not quite true, but a trike is soooooooooo much fun!)

So which recumbent did you get?

Can a man not aspire to owning two trikes?

Fair point!

Is that a Trice?

Your hubby needs a shorter boom by the looks of it!

Fair point!

Well I am looking at a second recumbent, or two!
