My wife got this for her birthday today.  Got it so that we can spend some quality time together and stay fit.

that is what worries me...lol...will have to see how it goes.  she enjoys the casual riding after work.  in the matter of keeping her on the flats is another matter...here in mosselbay there is a hill around every corner.  we stay on a hill

Go to Mr Price sport they have a lot of pink stuff, there are nice blue and pink second skins for the winter.

Very nice!!

I've tried the same trick with my wife without any success. Fortunately I borrowed a bike for her - at least I didn't incur the expense for a white elephant!

[mbaymike]

She was very excited to get the bike....she said if felt like she was 9 years old again with her first new bike ever. ...will be going for a ride this pm.

Lucky lady...MMMMM....Now I'm tempted for a new ride...

Hope the bug bites her! I have a Silverback hidden away waiting for my girlfriend's birthday. Gonna take her away for a weekend in the country when she has the bike, and also hope she enjoys riding as much as I do.

Allthough it is nice to spend more time with loved ones by getting them into cycling, it might mean that you actually end up having to give them that upgrade you always wanted....

 

If my ex had to cycle she would have the bling and I would have the entry level raleigh..

well if she doesnt then im sure u will find someothing else to do in the country

 

Just a word of advice if you are gonna take her somewhere make sure you know the mtb routes coz i took my finacee away to Greyton for a bit if an mtb weekend and although it is very beautiful i could find no information on the mountain biking routes.

Thanks for the advice. Was thinking of the Montagu area, there are plenty of quiet gravel roads that don't have too many hills. Wanna ease her into it as much as possible. Any ideas on other cool places within roughly 2 hrs of CT/Somerset West? We have a place in the Cederberg but there will be plenty of opportunities to ride there in the future so I will leave that for another time.
