1. Where has my wife put my cycling gloves? (she put them away some time around April and they haven't been seen since)
2. Where has my wife put my rain jacket? (she had a tidy up after we got back from the Cycle the Wight and I can't find it now)
3. What's the benefit of bib shorts in comparision to normal shorts?

I appreciate that you may not be able to help much with the first 2 questions but the last one has been perplexing me for some time :?

    Better when it's cold - more of your lower back is covered up.

    Sounds to me like your wife is a lot like mine. They hide things on you, then claim
    innocence, when in reality they are attempting to drive you crazy. It's just the way they are. Bad thing about it is that it usually works. Just ask anyone on this forum and they will
    verify that I am crazy and should be committed. I can't find anything.

    Well, In future put your own fuc8ing stuff away, instead of leaving it to fester in the utility!!!!
    Then you'd know where it was and you wouldn't blame your poor, downtrodden wife for it.

    So if I wear bib shorts all year round, is it like when my Grandma told me to take my coat because I wouldn't feel the benefit of it when I went back outside?! :shock:

    I could add to that the question of why it is that I can put two socks into the wash but only one ever comes out.

    When my wife does this to my kit I usually end up giving her a good listening to.

    Bib shorts are just more comfortable, and if you're going to wear lycra, you might as well do it properly!

    As for where your stuff is, she may be hiding it on purpose so you give up cycling and spend more time with her. That or she has put it away...this translated in to man speak, is, I saw it lying around in a convenient position, so decided to move it, can't remember where, so I'll claim I never touched it!

    1. Gloves fell behind the washing machine.
    2. The jacket is on the hook under the coat you haven't worn in ages.
    3. They're a lot more comfier around the waist and doesn't give you buildersarse.
