Text From Wife:

[mustang1]

No darling. I just bought two bikes at lunchtime and am eyeing up a third. I've run out of funds on my creidt card, won't you be a love and text me your card number and expiry date?

 

[arch684]

Turn that predictive text off dear

 

[Smokin Joe]

I thought it was going to be about a text sent in error - "Old man out cycling, pop round now".

 

[TreeHuggery]

How many glasses did you have?

If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman to hear is he still wrong?

Yes -he spoke without checking with a woman what his opinion was.

Do you need a new bike?

How do you think I answered?

"Do you need a new apron?"

You replied, "WTF are you asking stupid questions for when you should be in the kitchen and not playing on your phone?"

This happened to me... The other way round


Due to increasing knee problems the wife started nicking my Gekko trike


Then one evening she explained that if I wanted it back then she needed one with the Bionx motor!

 

[ufkacbln]

Only fair though


A few years ago we went down to Thorn to try a Rohloff geared tourer for her as she hates derailleur gears

They also loaned me one as what I thought was a quick ride in the car park was a 15 mile mixed route!

Loved the Rohloff and as we were discussing her bike, she suggested that I upgrade my Pashley APB to an S&S coupled Thorn Nomad

So for a Silver wedding present we bought each other a nice silver bicycle bell.... Attached to a Thorn Raven / Nomad

I think Rooster gave the wrong reply MIA, maybe she found the receipts for the cheap bikes..

You CycleChat men are a funny lot.
If my OH wants a new bike he just buys one. He doesn't ask permission.

Mind you, he bought a camouflage jacket at the army surplus store last week. He's not allowed to wear it.

Yeah, I tried that with my car. Three weeks of silence, five years (and counting) of "sharp remarks" - there is, of course, no forgiveness.

Oh dear. Maybe I'm not strict enough.
I might toughen up a bit.
