do you have your ticket — cycling

I asked the salesman about it, he stopped, stood up straight, looked me up and down and then said, “It’s like getting a ticket to a divorce”
That was some years ago, never got around to getting one.

I agree with the sales guy – never tandem a bike or go out on a twosome kayak
how funny, my daughter and her boyfriend just went kayaking and she laughingly told me how frustrating it was not to have her own! Laughing
I enjoyed both when Lisa was my girlfriend – then we married! Still married after 32 years – but no tandem bikes, no twosome kayaking, I tell ya 🙂
we still have a trick to two to show the youngsters, and congrats on 32! ( 27 for me )
I used to ride one with my ex. LOL funny! with my ex…anyway it was a little disconcerting being on the back as I could not control the steering or the speed in cornering and the ex was faster and stronger….but if I got tired, I didn’t really have to petal so I could make him drag my sorry arse around…;)
the ultimate punishment… coasting up hill!
yes, sadly, I never thought of that one!
Strange and interesting way to describe that…dude must have been dealing with personal issues of his own
agreed, certainly talked himself out of selling a very expensive bicycle.
I wouldn’t divorce you…I’d just make you do all the pedaling. 🙂
you could steer me where you wanted to go!
Wow! Well, that was an interesting way to describe it. good call not getting it in that case.
certainly worth the non-investment!
