….. My wife also see's that if I haven't gotten a ride in a few days a week I'm a grumpy SOB, where as I'm as nice a guy you could meet after I get back from my morning ride. She likes me better when I'm not grumpy.
I have attempted to get her interested in cycling. She doesn't do well on two wheels, as she has a fear of falling. I brought her on a newly formed family oriented group gravel ride once, and she shut down after the first half mile. She has a fear of riding near others. I immediately calmly and supportively stopped my ride, and we returned to our car to drive home. Since then, we have done a handful of local riding with just the two of us, but she usually declines my invitations to ride casually. I rarely ask anymore.
