Most of my life, one bike met my needs. I always had a work space and tools for wood working and car repair. But, by late middle age my work hours reduced enough to allow the luxury of multiple bicycles, i.e. a collection.. I think it requires a mature relationship to work. Here's my insight:

Male/Female relationships are complex. Some couples have much in common, others little. My wife and I are extreme opposites, but it worked these 58 years because both of us are disciplined and frugal. It took time to know each other and discover our strengths and weaknesses along with what we mutually enjoy. Opposites attract because together we make a whole. Over time, we came to enjoy the things we have in common and appreciate the differences that attracted us so strongly to each other. I know one thing, she is truly "my better half". Don
