I finally managed to get my wife back to saddle. We biked to Lucky supermarket near our home to get some backrib which was on sale. Gas price is so high that it cost about 75 cents to go to Lucy. It probably makes more sense to bike - that was the pitch I used and it actually worked.

I suggested to go Trader's Joe on the next day but that didn't work. It will be tough to make my wife a regular cyclist.
