Friends, I feel as if I've been violated.
Today was a longish run day of 13 miles. We ran slowly, 8:45ish, but my running mate is also a triathlete but doesn't have a true tri bike, so mid run, he says, "hey, could I borrow yours?"
Now the kid is talented, but asking somebody to use one's bike? I stumbled, through, well, we'll have to see how it meshes with my race schedule. However, I feel as though I've been raped or that he wanted to sleep with my wife? Is this an odd sentiment, or would other cyclists share it? Mike might want to analyze, after he's done analyzing his wife's dream, why my attachment to an inanimate object is so emotional.

I'm not as attached to my bike (yet) but I could see it happening someday. A good friend asked to borrow my golf clubs and it was very difficult for me to allow it, but I did.
He returned the clubs without the 4 iron in the bag. Fortunately, some good soul in a group behind my friend, picked up the club and returned it to the clubhouse where it was safe and waiting for me to bring it home. Never again.
