Re:
Got home last night and my missus shocked me somewhat – she'd has fallen in love with some reconditioned old posties bikes she's seen on the web. They are rather lovely I must admit and great value too.
However, this is not the point. The point is that she has never ridden but she's seen these lovely sturdy practical bikes and is seriously entertaining the vision of pootling about on one. Now, I always fully support her with anything she wants to do but on this one, I must admit I'm shit-scared at the thought of her going out alone riding the local roads in my area – based on all my years of seasoned riding and my personal scars from battle-hardened years of commuting by bike. I know she secretly worries about me when I'm commuting, but still...
What should I do? I would love us to ride together but based on all my experiences on the roads, I feel I can't whole-heartedly say it's a wonderful idea for her to entertain.
