Wife - Just how many bikes do you need? You can only ride one at a time!!!!

Me - answer 1, Yes dear, but it keeps me off the streets.
answer 2, Remember dear they are an investment.
answer 3, There are worse hobbies to be into.
answer 4, but just think, it's keeping me fit.


You forgot an answer :
Me - answer 5, Darling, how many shoes* you have in the dressing ? You only have two feets :lol:

(*) You can change shoes with dresses, bags… and a lot of women's addiction :wink:
