In the tangential nature of STW a post by MoreCashThanDash about the tallness (or not) of his wife on the [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/anyone-got-a-thule-591-bike-carrier ]http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/anyone-got-a-thule-591-bike-carrier[/url] thread got me thinking...
What's the height difference between you and your husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend.
As I'm 6'2" and Mrs Wombat is 5' 0" my rudimentary maths make it 14 inches here....
there's 8 inches between me and my wife... insert your own joke at will
me 6ft4'' 19 stone
wife 5ft1'' 10.5 stone
And yes, I know, it's in the wrong forum 🙄
Ton tread carefully posting weight on here as well!
I'm only 4" taller, she is 5'5" I'm 5'9" (she is older than me so that is my excuse)
10"
5-6"

wiggles, still 3.5 stone lighter than I was a couple of years ago'

about 1/2 " if that.

Me too. But we have the same leg length, which means we don't have to move the seat in the car, just the rear view mirror
6"
(Had to look her stats up online 😳 )
0.5" and about 2lb and half a shoe size!
Very handy when either of you have forgotten kit!
I don't have a boyfriend or husband.
that's sexist
Wife is about 1" taller than me, perhaps 1.5"....
Lucky for me, she didn't inherit her Dad's tall gene - as he's about 13" taller than me (but, then I'm a short arse)!

Same as me!
I could put most of you in the lower half for a change!! 🙂
Rachel
4ft11 to 6ft4
about 50kgv heavier
MrsBOuys about 40mm taller, though I've got quite a lot of hair on my head so you can't really tell, well you can if she wears high heals but normally we kinda level out.
In bed she's about the same size.
HTH
No idea, partner is a tad smaller than me, say three dead kittens stacked up. Not end to end, obviously, just kind of piled up on her head.
6ft
Not sure really, but the tip of my nose touches the top of Mrs Seadogs forehead.
I'm 6'7", she's 5'9". Not much clothes / bike swapping in our house.
about 1/2 " if that.
+1
i'm 6'7" and my wife is 5'3"
8" between my wife & I.
We're both about 5'8", nowt in it until she's in heels.
I'm about 4" taller I think.

😯
MrsMC 4'10", I'm 5'9".
Good things, small packages etc
I'm 5'3", he's 6 ft
I used to be 6'0" (now a bit shorter thanks to spinal injury). Mrs Scape is 4'10" (and a bit....)
About 1/2 an inch if I stand on my tip-toes, almost identical shoe size, identical contact lens prescription but I weigh 11st to her 9st.
We're both about 5'8", nowt in it until she's in heels.
That's us - I hate it when she wears heels especially as I like quite flat shoes myself.
I'm 10'' taller than the Mrs.
Short men with taller women. That's biologically wrong.
Wishful thinking says 12'1" - I'm 6'1". 😀
About 6" in my favour.
My wife is 5" shorter than me, my GF is 1.5" shorter than my wife
I've got 8" on her ..
I'm 6'4", The Wife is 5'8".
I can't get in the car if she's been driving.
8 meaty inches.
Same height but need to adjust the car seat as I have short legs and long body but Mrs F has long legs and short body !!
12" 😛
My wife is 5" shorter than me, my GF is 1.5" shorter than my wife
2nd page before this?.....the place has gone to the dogs 😉
Er...oops ex wife!
Oh, you spoiled it 🙂
Im 6ft 1 and Mrs Biker is 4ft 10 1/2, the 1/2 inch is very important to her. Dont fit in any of her clothes.
I'm 6'1", mrsmoosehead is 5' and half an inch. She says it is a very important half an inch.
So that's a 12.5" difference.
Me not quite 6 foot, her just over 5 feet, we dont share many clothes, I cant get in her car till the seat is moved back , she cant reach the pedals in mine till the seat is all the way forward, she would not ge able to ride the tracer
We're both 5'8". She claims to be taller though. I think I just look lower to the ground. Either way it's 'no difference' imo or 'noticeable' in her opinion.
about 6/7 inches and about 5 stone (in my favour)
14cm* to my advantage
(mrs farmer comes from Bavaria so we don't do inches in this household 😉 )
She's about 1/2" taller than me, but her legs are considerably longer than mine.
I'm 5'11", missus is 5'10". So just the 1" here.
I'm 5ft 2ish, husband is 6ft 6. We can't share bikes, and if we use the same car there's quite a bit of setting up to do on changeover...
I am taller by a head.
1'
6'1" vs 5'3"
Thankfully the mrs has a flat head, which I used to be able to rest a pint of Guiness on. Since the weans came along we don't go out drinking so much....
😕
Very heightist round here.
Heightism is worse than homophobia and racism combined.

Similar here - I'm a shortarse 5'6", Zoe is 5'3" but same leg length. Oddly, don't need to move the mirror either as she sits forward in the seat and I sit back.
More oddly, at 5'6" I'm the tallest member of my (blood) family.
7" taller
2.2x heavier 😯
4" or so, legs are around the same length which makes some degree of bike sharing a bit easier- no saddle height adjustment needed.
I'm 5' 8" my wife's 5'6". Luckily, she doesn't wear heels very often as I know it's stupid but I hated her being taller than me when she wore shoes like that (when we were younger).
2" difference means I have a 2nd seatpost and saddle for her Inbred meaning I have an sneaky n+1 🙂
About an inch I'm 5'8 ish n she's 5'7
Longer legs than me# which ain't hard. Has the car seat closer than me though as this is apparently due to and I quote my vast bulk.
#Also as a disclaimer her legs are longer and lovelier
I'm one of the few with a taller wife, I'm 6', wife is 6' 3", and she earns more than me (much more). No insecurities here, just wish she'd earn even more and I could buy more bikes.
Only a couple of inches , we're both hobbits.
5'17" Vs 5'10"
6ft vs 5'1. She still scares me though.
I'm 6'1 and the lovely Mrs B is 5'10.
6' for me, 5'2" for mrs tenfoot
I'm 6'2" and not fond of shortarses mrs rocket is 5'9"
14" normally, 19" if i am wearing heels
6'2" mrs is 5'6" (which she tells me isn't short) close when we're off out (her in heels) but she don't half seem short when we're barefoot.
nbt - I'm 5' 4", not 5' 5" but thanks for the extra inch 🙂
Is anyone collating these results for a nice wee graph?
