I'm in big trouble. Just got back into biking a couple of years back...but i've been telling my wife all my escapades as soon as i get home!

"And this guy cut me off and I zoomed around him..."

"And this old babe looked right at me and then cut in front...."

"And then I nailed the brakes, but I didn't see the gravel and I nearly lost her!!!"

Now, believe it or not, she won't ride anywhere with me! And I AM competent, I swear! BEEATCH rides everywhere with her brother but still won't trust her hubbie after 24 years!

What's a guy to do??

Maybe I could build a box for my dog on the side??????

Dude there is such a thing as too much communication, I tell my wife nothing that will cause any disturbance to the greater peace.

Third Rule....

Tell the truth and nothing but the truth... just don't tell the whole truth.

I choose sparingly. I did, however call her each time I have met asphalt.

I mean, when you get home she's gonna see the rash anyway.

Leave the cut-offs, and guys passing you at 100 in a full blown wheelie to yourself, and friends.

I can't lie to my wife about what happens when I'm riding 'cause she's usually only 2 or 3 bike lengths away......

Same, even when I go fishing, she's no more than a stone's throw away, so I carn't even bullshyte about the one that got away.

Smooth O: I often wonder what the chicks think when I pull up on my flashy red bandit, leisurely pull off my bright yellow helmet and then show the girls an old, balding, wrinkled face! Are they disappointed? Do they realize I was young, svelte, handsome and smooth-skinned at one time?

I use to have a top security clearance with the Atomic Energy Comission, I was on a "need to know" clearance, meaning, if I needed to know something to do my job, then I was told.
I use the same method with my wife, I don't lie to her, but I only tell her if she needs to know.

With all due respect, my friend, you are talking too much when it comes to your wife. You can tell cr@p like that to another man, but you need to zip it with the wife, I don't care what anyone else says.

I also follow the "need to know" strategy in all things. I have never and will never lie to my wife (or anyone else, for that matter), but I also don't just blab everything that ever happens to me. Bad idea. Don't upset or worry her unnecessarily! Tell her things she needs to know, or things that don't matter if she knows them, but otherwise can it!

Think objectively for a moment...would YOU ride with you after all the things you're telling? Seriously? I mean, to her you probably sound incompetent or cursed! Not picking on you, but just think about it.

Discretion in all things.
