I wonder if it’s tubeless and what brand of sealant to use.

somewhere a DS is going deep into the rulebook to see if he can
I seem to remember a late night thing popup on the iPad as I was near sleep: Something about a helmet for motorcycle riders that would deploy an airbag to protect the head in a crash. This kind of makes me think of that, and how odd and weird it would be to have such a thing, and what to do if it/when fails.
My ex-ortho doc said that ski helmets unleashed the stupid in a lot of people, which was a win for that specialty of medicine, but also made for long waits for patients, and some really gruesome injuries that required immediate attention. Just saying…
Yeah, people skiing the trees and slaloming between the chair lift poles, and skiing into things like other poles, fences, ditches, snow groomers (one while it was actually running), and… (But could you fill it with helium and, no that’s silly) Reduce drag? Keep your jacket zipped? Or for me, don’t carry a complete took kit of stuff I’ll probably never need because I might need it. How many people overpack/overcarry for a ride? I’d probably use the air bladder space for more junk to carry> Gels, etc… There is no end…
All mechanical scenarios covered.

Because you just never know what could happen…

Because it’s the same as showing someone orange and asking if the color is yellow or red. The answer is that it’s neither.

I was watching the TDF with my kids and they asked which team was Bahrain, I said they’re the ones in the orangey red jerseys, then they asked which were Ineos, I said they’re wearing reddy orange.
Names for colours are social construct to allow us to communicate about them. The word Orange didn’t enter the english language until the 16th Century

Oh no let’s not start this again!
(Although I agree absolutely with what you’re saying)

We could refer to the colors by their 24-bit RGB hex codes if we want to be really specific. Not really sure where that leaves materials that fluoresce though especially if they shine brighter on one channel than the source. But somehow FF8000 doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.
In the world of adoption
Hex codes = metric system
Anyway

Pink doesn’t exist
Off topic, but thanks for the ideas…
Get an e-bike for those together rides.
I forgot the tandem option.
E-bike for both of you. Adjust the electric input so you can ride together.

Clearly the answer (as to most cycling questions) is more bikes. If both of you on road means you’re too fast, and her on road with you on MTB means she’s too fast, then I would think a road (her) and gravel (you) combo would be about ideal. Can tune it with slicker or knobblier tyres to get it right. Ideally you both have a vast selection of bikes from aero road with TT tyres through to gravel or MTB bikes with full knobblies and you can just select the perfect pairing for each ride based on the terrain and your respective ride plans 
Can’t solve the peloton one but at least having an indoor trainer each means you can hopefully train at the same time, plus yours will always be set up for your position and ready to go so that’s a bonus.

Off topic, sorry…
I said she should get a fat bike, and that was a ‘hell no’. 
I also recommended a cruiser bike, and got ‘the look’. (She has a Di2 Ruby, and was amazed how much it cost, but does like it, but anyway
I guess it’s joint recovery rides, or ripping it for a half hour out and back. As perfect as it can be.
Strong logic right there. Can’t argue with that
