    The current Mrs Tricolore has said she doesn't do enough exercise and we don't spend enough time together. I'm thinking of a tandem ?

    Any suggestions folks ?

    i bought my wife an iron a few years ago! it's not as bad as it sounds as she really likes ironing..This year a friends wife has painted a picture of our last dog "Dennis" together with "Mickey" our present dog. I'm quite chuffed with myself for getting her something different this year:) and I'm pretty sure she will love it !!

    Every morning tell her the battery is flat on your bike and get her to give you a push in the morning, the more time with you and exercise she gets will depend on the gradient of hill.

    Ok! Get her some gloves so her hands don't get cold on those frosty mornings. Is that better?

    Perhaps she'd like a nice new bike lift, socket set, etc, pointing out the benefit to her while you are out of her way while using them?

    Hi Tricolour....

    ....a tandem eh?.......I think that's a great idea, take a look at this one for example.... IMG_0570.PNG

    .....and you never know, you and the missus could make it into the next Olympics as well as Laura and Jason!

    Happy Christmas

    Cheers, dickydido
