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....

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

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)!

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.

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.

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.

Short men with taller women. That's biologically wrong.

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.

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.

14cm* to my advantage

She's about 1/2" taller than me, but her legs are considerably longer than mine.

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
