IMO, tell your wife your bike is broken and you need to get a new one. It's not an indulgence; you're not collecting them. Cycling is an important part of your life and fitness. Get
something to ride. I'm sure you can spare $100 for a 1980's steelie or a throwaway aluminum frame.
BTW, when my wife was pregnant with our first,
I got the stretch marks. Ugh...
Finally, taking care of
one tiny little baby isn't really that hard. Multiples with siblings is another story.
