Wifey got her a new road bike today
After seeing my speed and excitement on my Allez, Mrs. Copswithguns took the plunge and bought a Specialized Dolce, pictured below. Just gave it a 5 mile maiden voyage and all is well. It's nice to not have to slow down for her now (she was on a Schwinn hybrid with 38c tires) 
Kinda sucks that she got a carbon fork and 2400 components for $50 less than I paid for my Allez, but we're happy.

I have been riding with a friend, getting her ready to do a 50 miler. She started out on a comfort bike and it was frankly miserable for me as she was so slow! She got a new bike (Trek Domane 4.5) and boy what an improvement! Have fun with your spouse and hope she falls in love with the new ride!
