What I want for Christmas

My wife wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas and fairly early on
I think I muttered something about a new bike.

I might even have uttered the words 'airbourne' or 'that new
cannondale with the Rohloff hub gear' and 'Ive read a lot about
recumbents'. I also think I mentioned that Roberts have my
measurements and a purpose built audax machine would be great.

I didn't want to appear too keen, you know.

She, on the other hand, seems to think that one bike is enough. I
pointed out that this was a widespread fallacy and as evidence I cited
you lot.

"All the others have more than one bike"

"Which others?",

"You know the urc lot, the audax list people, the uk-uc mob"

"I'm not convinced that they actually exist" was her opinion.

Obviously I have a little work to do over the next few weeks.



So, anything on your wish lists?

Good grief! Get her to read my postings! One can never have too many bikes,
bike bits, accessories etc.,m or spend too much money on bikes, bike bits,
accessories etc.

And I'm a wife!

Cheers, helen s

Two bikes with an average of two wheels each: a Trice Monster and a unicycle

Precisely.

I mean, she wants you to be happy, doesn't she? :-)

And wouldn't she rather you were out on your bike than off boozing down
the pub ?(probably best not to mention any potential combining of these
activities at this stage)

And I'm a wife!

Ditto :-) (Though not the same one, obviously...)
