my bestie jokingly said "he's lucky u let him out so much all the time" I don't even let our dogs out that much.
I was explaining to her that my bf is obsessed with his cycling hobby. More than obsessed. Mental more like.

He cycles to work 12 plus miles each way !
Cycles on some evenings and does like nearly 80 miles on weekends with his mates around trails etc then hits the lodge or pub where they drink. He spends summers in Italy France where I think the Alps are. By his own admission says the ferry back from Ireland is a chance for a "good pish up".
We are both under 30 under have no children but I am looking forward to kids but what kind of dad will he be.
I knew he was cycling obsessed on our first date when he turned up in his cycling gear.
But this is just an obsession surely we all have hobbies like I do spin and run. But with my oh it's always something a scouts thing, charity thing some fricking flaming cycling memorial ride for some cyclist who died.. at home he has the tour de France or something on or the cycling channel. Gosh !
I punctured his tire a few months ago as I was so annoyed.
Some weekends I'm alone like an old lady in an armchair watching Columbo! So bored
What to do please 🥺

Whilst it's good he exercises, he's not for you.

I'm sure thousands of Brits cycle it wouldn't identify anyone ? Well i found it funny actually him turning up in his lycra shorts at this Italian. He is funny, travelled a lot, intelligent, brainy etc all appealed to me.
I don't want to cause a rift yet unless theirs a solution

There is no solution.

He loves his bike more than you. I’m sorry to be so very blunt, but you’ve wasted so much time on his sorry lycra-clad arse, when that arse has seen more of his saddle than the sofa in your home. He’s giving you crumbs - stop scratching for them.
