My mom is totally against it, so I knew I couldn't get a bike while living in their house. I got married last summer and moved out and finally could begin to consider getting a bike...except my wife wouldn't let me either. Before we got married, she was like "oh yeah, you can get it if you want". As soon as we got married, she was like "no bike, I don't want you to die and leave me alone with the mortgage". Anyways, after a lof of convincing, she compromised but only allowed me to get a 250 cc bike to start, which I guess is probably a good idea anyways
