When she met him, bikes were clearly an important part of his life.
Now that they're married, she's hell-bent on changing him into what she wants. Notice that she didn't issue these ultimatums while they were dating, probably because he'd have dropped her in response.
The idea is to accept the person as they are, not think of them as a work in progress or someone you can force to accept your position on something. I'm not talking about her training him to put the seat down when he's finished or to put his dirty clothes in the hamper (i.e. stop living like a single man), but trying to change the essence of who his is as a person to fit her personal agenda.
If he chooses, of his own free will, to get out of biking, that's one thing. An ultimatum from her is entirely another. I feel sorry for those poor sods who put their bike in the paper saying "wife forcing sale." What else have these guys had to give up to keep this woman happy? Where does it end?
I'd get rid of the wife before I got rid of the bikes. Why? Because bikes are an integral, and important, part of my life and if she's dropping ultimatums on this important (to me) topic, what else will she give me the "my way or the highway" treatment over?
I say keep the bike and find some new riding buddies.
