    While out riding today I pass the wife driving the kids and their cousins to swimming.

    As the roads were bad (wet) I had on my cheap kit. Karrimor tights and shorts over them (a tenner the lot from sports direct) and a crane (lidl or aldi I don’t recall which) jacket.

    I stopped for a drink and read my text which said, in part, your cycling kit looked cheap and nasty why not buy yourself some proper kit. Get what you like.

    I replied that it was old kit. She then says, seeing as its soon to be our anniversary why not get good kit and a new bike and keep old kit/allez for winter, etc seeing as I had got the bike nearly 2 yrs ago now.

    She even said she is prepared to give road riding a go herself and will borrow our son’s TDF next time I go out.

    Had to share that.

    Although she knows I am also cool with her shoe and handbag collections.

    Nope. She is just pretty cool at understanding cycling and me.
