The obvious first thing to use would be green soap, aka rock bottom
grade washing up liquid.

I have to admit it wouldn't be the first choice on my list of
lubricants (no, don't say anything Mary, they are all talking about us
already!)

Would I ? 8-/

Probably, yes (you naughty girl!) ;-)

So, that's the solution then .. make sure she does 15 miles before I
get home!

If she gets fed up I'll give it a good home. For some reason we gave away
our rollers years ago.

'His n hers' cars or hair styling apparatus Mary?

We first tried a Tunturi (from eBay) rowing machine but it wasn't like
'real rowing' for me and wasn't comfortable for her back.

We then got this 420 cycle and we both find it very comfortable (it's
highly adjustable as she's 5'6" and I'm 6'2") and it provides a real
cycling feel without the rain, cold, dogs, drivers, potholes etc. She
just turns the telly on and enough fans to start our own wind tunnel
facility (the overheat is down to the 'change' or some other strange
woman thing) and pedals off (nowhere)!

I personally would rather risk the rain, cold, dogs, drivers, potholes
etc on my MTB and experience the added excitement of a 10 mile
narrow tow-path ride home in the dark from the pub ;-)

Laters ..
