Once you start cycling, the city opens up for you. No longer are you fighting it, hot and frustrated; no longer are you at the mercy of bus drivers, roadworks, decisions made by others and over which you have no control. Believe me, once you've tasted this freedom, you're hooked.
It's not a failure if a marriage or partnership ends after a certain number of years. I think, in general, we expect too much of partners.
