To think that my DH should take his bike outside

[Womanonthedge]

I know its not a big deal in the scheme of things but it gets on my nerves. Dh loves bikes and owns 3. He used to be a cycle courier and loved it but had to stop due to our family expanding. He loves tinkering with his bike, changing parts around and trying to improve it, but he sometimes does it in our dining room which i think is disgusting, its unhygienic and our dining room is also one of the bikes' home. I want it out. I've suggested putting it outside, he says it will rust. I've suggested getting a cover and putting it outside, he said wind will get into it and make it fall over. He won't put it in the shed as its too far, it really isn't and/or its too full. He is a great husband and father and does so much in the house but I really really hate the bike. AIBU to want it out.

I was just using it as a term to describe people who's dhs are obsessed with cycling. I don't know of a better alternative that sums it up like that phrase does. Dh describes himself as a neglected husband sometimes but it is only tongue in cheek and not to be taken literally or too seriously!

I think that bike widow sums it up perfectly and I have my own fun while DP is out cycling.

I do have a bike, but don't find the thought of a 75 mile bike ride thrilling...I leave that to the cycling obsessed DH

Our bikes cost a fortune on the household insurance as well as some of them are worth over £500 so need itemising individually. getting expensive bikes properly insured is a hassle, we've not had any of them stolen either but don't get much of a no claims discount on them and it limits our choice of householder insurers as alot won't cover expensive bikes.

Our three bikes live in the dining room. DH is a car enthusiast. My dining table usually has half a car on it. Bikes are nothing, I can wheel them away
