All my bikes come with a nice handbag.

You all just need to marry a seamstress and quilter. My wife has 14 sewing machines. All I have to do, is get caught looking at new bikes on my iPad, and she gets another sewing machine🤣I’ll never catch up….

You get off lightly.
My last purchase (a nice hand made steel gravel bike from Shand equipped with a Rohloff hub) had to come with a new mid size car 😱

Funny. My first race bike, a Cannondale R500, "came" with a state-of-the-art sewing machine.

And 30+ years later, the remodeled kitchen came with Pinarello Dogma 10 with full Sram Red electronics components.

Who says marriage isn't wonderful?

Rohloff hub? new car checks out

Love it!

My wife quilts and only has 4:machines.
I say I just want to get a bike for half of one of her machines.
She gets indignant and says I can't spend that much on a bike, longarms are expensive.
Ha

It's not new ... it's actually quite old

Everything it's made of was formed in multiple supernovas over millions of years and billions of miles, just to find themselves all assembled in our garage in this moment

My wife went in half’s with a friend on her long arm. She has multiple surgers, industrial, embroidery, and antiques. Like I said… I’ll never catch up! 🤣

always buy bikes of the same color. If your wife does not ride, she'll never know the difference between a Giant, Trek, Cervelo... all my wife sees is a white frame with two wheels, nothing to see here.

Great things never come from comfort zones.

That's funny, I do the opposite...need to get a new color so it looks like a different type of bike. Otherwise it's "You got another silver bike? Don't you already have one of those?".
