[quote=Anonymous]We are moving close to DH's work and he is very excited about selling one of our cars and buying a bike. The commute will be a little under 3 miles each way on a paved path. There is also a bus as backup. He's talking about spending 2k, including new helmet and other gear. I think that is absurd. Our HHI is 80k but we will have no debt after the car is sold. In context, DH gives me sh*t when I spend money on preschool and kids' swimming lessons. I will be going to work soon (low salary, 1 in daycare) and I still think 2k on a bike is ridiculous. FWIW, I already own a hybrid Trek in good condition that he could use - he just doesn't want to. Am I out of line? I'm OK with him buying a bike - if we each have one, we can ride as a family - but I was thinking more like 500-600. He will be working at this office for at least a few years.[/quote]
