Yes, keep the wife safe! Unless of course your thinking of doing something...uhh, I'm sorry...forget I said that...
I had the binder bolt on a Cinelli stem break on me when I was standing on the pedals and leaning over the bars for some speed, and it was all I could do to keep from going head over-bars and get the bike stopped. Trust me, it's a very bad feeling to have the bars drop out from below you when you leaning hard on them!
