I've been able to do that and have a bike, so I guess I am the exception. I look at it too, what is the cost without it? I would go nuts if I couldn't ride sometime consistently. Sometimes people do it because of other reasons that sometimes is a power struggle because there seems to be a requirement of quid pro quo for giving something up. We all are going to die sometime, but do we really live at all? ;) I had two non-negotiables when I got married: Bikes and personal protection. So far so good.
