[Closed] Bike Riding Brownie Points

5:50 am - cat wakes me up, 6:20 - olivia wakes up, 6:30 - i get olivia up and feed her (meet the fockers eat ya heart out!!), 7:15 - olivia up, dressed, clean, fed, and playing. best of all Pauline gets a lay in 🙂

My facebook status - next job is to take the little one on a long walk round ladybower or stanage, then into buxton shopping 🙂

How see through are we!! lol

How about just telling them you have a ride planned. Works gor me, yeah tricky with kids but still works out.

Am I the only one that finds it a bit sad that you need points to go riding? It annoys my wife no end 🙂 As not all (wifes/partners) delete as appropriate are like that.

Anyway we are just off to Fort William to have a mooch around on foot as part of our bike rest week after last weeks adventures to Kielder and then an all day bike ride around a couple of the Stanes on Monday linked together by a bit of natural and road, and no points needed 🙂

I don't - i ride when i want to but its always nice to know you have done your bit and more so it feels like you deserve it more 🙂

My Missus said when we had the baby - you can ride when you want to - so i do!

Drac - as she is at home all week and i am at work - its only fair we break the weekend up so i get a day and so does she. If i do it slyly i get 2 rides 🙂

I find the concepts of Brownie Points and Facebook equally pointless and depressing. I think I might be morphing in to Simonfbarnes. I'm only short of quoting everybody I respond to in italics and it will all be over.

Clearly Geewave your kidding yourself. Your needing to do chores to get some extra in. You either rid or don't there is no need to have to do a job in order to ride.

Do I win the "best wife competition"? Mine say things like, "why don't you go and ride one of your bikes?" Or you haven't bought anything new for a bike in ages, whats wrong?". I can only assume she's having an affair?

arsed. she lets you ride your bike

Well I rode with my SO tuesday after work. Thursday during lunch time and yesterday after work (albeit a very short one due ot her OTBing in a marvellous way).
We've just back from a cycle along the sea front to coffee in Cannes...

Do I won anything?

drac - difference is mate - i CARE about my missus and am not a self centred selfish **** - you on the other hand?? riding is a massive part of my life, as is my missus and my kid - all need to be equal!

Well Gee I work shifts so spend a lot of time looking after my kids, then I work all weekend or all night and may not see them all the weekend and only see my wife for a hour or sometimes just in passing. However, I still try to get a ride in if I can and don't need to ask for permission to ride or do favours. I may not ride for a week or 2 maybe more but never have to ask to do it or schedule a slot.

Juan your not married so have no leash so you win **** all.

another pissing contest?

drac - never ask or need permission either - just like to pull my weight

No just trying to understand why some people feel the need to do a job so they can ride.

And the winner is..........me!

We have no kids, my wife is as hooked on biking as me and i get to ride when i like as i just lost my job!.....Bugger!
