Same here, until I moved in with my - now - wife. The house did grow a couple of rooms and ups, one was for the bike on the trainer as well as some other exercise related stuff.
10 years ago my wife didn’t like when I suggested taking my running gear to the hospital while she was in labor. She said something about me being an asshole. ![]()
I know this well lol

„I saw a new bike at Eurobike, and I want that for Christmas“ can be a very ambiguous statement!
This is my new bike my wife put under the Christmas tree for me.
My brother-in-law, visiting from California with his wife and kids, remarked he knows someone who came up with the precise mathematical formula for the number of bikes to own:
(N+1)<(S-1)
Where N is the number of bikes currently owned and S is the number at which your Spouse leaves.
(Note: my wife isn’t mean, just being funny as she already approved a new bike, the acquisition of which is already in process
)
The brain knows things, we should listen to the brain
Did you tell her that everything actually starts with your bike?
My wife loves to bake and is really great at it. The struggle is real.
Same. I justify it as “fueling” for the spring riding season. ![]()
Same! I tell people I’d be 400lbs if I didn’t ride like I do. It’s only a little hyperbolic.

I don’t even justify it. I only ride because eating cake is actually encouraged ![]()
