Women! This one\u2019s for you! If you live with a cyclist you may find yourself complaining about muddy tire tracks ruining the carpets or all those bikes taking up precious attic space, but have you ever thought about all the great benefits of living with a cyclist? Here are 10 reasons why your life with a cyclist will be awesome.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. You will eat healthy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not only will he follow whatever trendy diet you\u2019re on, he\u2019ll probably keep a food diary for you as well! And when out for a romantic dinner, he\u2019ll point out all the reasons why Team Sky extra-virgin olive oil is so much better than this rancid sludge.<\/p>\n

2. You\u2019ll get to enjoy him longer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"profimedia-0233029995\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On average, pro cyclists live 6.3 years longer than non-cyclists. As long as they don\u2019t get hit by a bus, that is.<\/p>\n

3. More beauty products for you<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"profimedia-0168534065-(1)\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cyclists are obsessed with shaving their legs (for improved wound care after a fall, or so they say). So if you\u2019re ever short on razors, no worries, just grab some from his stash. Unless of course he\u2019s already stealing from yours.<\/p>\n

4. You can shape him, sort of<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"profimedia-0056585768\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cyclists are constantly setting goals for themselves. It\u2019s up to you to set the right ones.\u00a0For example, convince him that Stephen Roche<\/a> developed his skills by cycling to the grocery store and coming back with the shopping every day.<\/p>\n

5. More clothes to choose from<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"profimedia-0216791520\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What with his lean ectomorph body, you can help yourself to his wardrobe anytime you want, including his collection of rainbow Lycra pants.\u00a0Though if you\u2019re willing to wear those, you don\u2019t really need to be reading this list in the first place.<\/p>\n

6. Plenty of \u201cme\u201d time<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"profimedia-0209547804\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While he\u2019s out getting his daily ride and tracking his kilometres on his app, you\u2019ll have a plenty time for yourself. Or your friends. So you can do all that cultural stuff he has no interest in.<\/p>\n

7. You\u2019ll be the envy of your friends<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"profimedia-0171583518\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cyclists are straight-up hot. A recent study found that cyclists who excelled in the Tour de France were seen as more attractive than other athletes. Must be those legs. That or the washboard abs.<\/p>\n

8. Better winter holidays<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"profimedia-0091133202\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Forget playing in powder snow. Come wintertime you\u2019re heading to the Canary Islands for some fun in the sun.\u00a0Unless of course he wants to take that new Fatbike he bought to the South Pole<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. You will have incredibly smart kids<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"profimedia-0191943544\"<\/a><\/p>\n

According to a recent Mindlab survey, most people view cyclists as 13 percent more intelligent than the average person. Please don\u2019t ask us why.<\/p>\n

10. One day he\u2019ll go to heaven<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"profimedia-0088261303\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cyclists are do-gooders. According to the same survey, cyclists are generally viewed as 10 percent more charitable than non-cyclists. So when his riding buddy needs to sell his lightweight wheels for 2 grand, he\u2019ll be glad to buy them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
