If you are anything at all like me, you have from time to time tried to sneak a bike into the stable, hoping your better half won't notice one more bike among the legions already there. Therefore, if your significant other is anything like mine, she (or he) makes a point of scanning the garage on a daily basis, taking inventory of your bike stable to see if it has grown.
So, this April Fools, borrow a bike -- a really nice bike, of about the same size of your other bikes -- from a friend. Not to ride, but just to park. Put it by your other bikes in such a way that it looks like you're trying to hide it.
And then don't say a word.
When your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever eventually notices and asks about the bike, simply reply, "It's just a bike."
"You bought a bike without consulting me?" will be the response.
Look away. Swallow. Stammer. Then say, "Not exactly."
"Exactly what, then?"
Which is when you say "April Fools!" and you both have a good laugh, or you get clobbered with the nearest heavy, blunt object. Could go either way.
