The last ride I did with my wife was on our tandem, 61 miles and 2000'. I have a thing about fast women..
You're lucky. My wife deceived me in our courtship. When I met her, she had a nice paramount, and we rode a lot together. Four kids and 25 years later, it's just the townie to a nice place for lunch and back. Coincidentally, I bought another townie yesterday. One with an 8-speed IGH came up on the local FB marketplace that my wife thought was cuter than her current 21 speed.
