Like TJ, my wife hated cycling until we bought a tandem. This meant she didn't have to worry about not being able to keep up/ making me slow down.
We still ride the tandem, and she now has an eBike for much the same reasons.
We both enjoy travelling and gardening, so with the cycling imbalance sorted we have a happy life.
Interesting point - I wonder whether ebikes have saved or broken more marriages by letting couples spend more time together?
We go in from the shared side I got her cycling now 3/1 to mrs g bike ratio canoeing/ paddling similar but 4/2 totally refused the Landy defender ‘hobby ‘so 0/0 both near retirement so some careful planning needed to stay on track🥰
40 years together this year. Mrs IRC doesn't go bike touring or hillwalking and I don't do ballet or knitting. We both like going to the odd gig, cooking, our dogs, a pint or two in the pub etc.
Works for us.

My partner bought one so we could ride together, she used to ride loads, but not offroad. I do wonder when the day will come when she tells me off for leaving her behind on a descent 😀 Hasn't yet though!
