Well, as we all know, complaints about partners also go the other way.\u00a0 So here is a follow-up piece with 10 reasons a bike may be better than a girlfriend.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be surprised if some of these points could also be applied to boyfriends, though.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-141339\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/06\/profimedia-0284300145.jpg\" alt=\"You can spend time with your bicycle without it nagging or criticizing you.

In fact, it will stay relatively quiet most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>2. Bicycles live for the moment \u2013 they don\u2019t think or ask about what the \u201cnext step\u201d in the relationship is.<\/p>\n<p>3. Related to #2 is that your bike won\u2019t rehash old issues &#8211; you don\u2019t have to worry about being \u201csurprised\u201d with stories of your past offenses.<\/p>\n<p>4. Your bicycle will not complain about other bicycles and gossip. Maybe it knows you have other things to think about.<\/p>\n<p>5. You can just be yourself around your bicycle, without it trying to \u201cfix\u201d you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-141338\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/06\/profimedia-0282406007.jpg\" alt=\"You can just be yourself around your bicycle, without it trying to \u201cfix\u201d you.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6. Your bicycle\u2019s moods are independent of its hormones \u2013 bikes don\u2019t have hormones.<\/p>\n<p>7. There\u2019s no need to reassure your bike about how it looks \u2013 it doesn\u2019t compare itself with other bikes.<\/p>\n<p>8. Bikes are generally ready to go whenever you\u2019re ready to go. There\u2019s no need to wait around for them, well, unless something needs to be repaired.<\/p>\n<p>9. They don\u2019t cry or otherwise express their emotions &#8211; bikes don\u2019t have emotions.<\/p>\n<p>10. Bikes don\u2019t get funny ideas from Hollywood movies and\/or romance novels and then expect you to live up to ridiculous standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you enjoy our previous article \u201c10 Reasons Why a Bike Is Better Than a Boyfriend\u201d?
