There's a thread here about teaching a non-cycling spouse to gain skills and confidence. As always in this forum, the advice was correct and supportive.

I don't have a similar problem, or a problem at all. But still, I have a bit of worry.

My bride is good on a bike, and equally or more skilled and enthusiastic about skiing. Used to be a ski instructor. I've been on lifts watching her come down a hill, and the lift companions have said - wow, look at that. Chin first, very fast, wedelling in the olderfashioned ankles together style. A complete demonstration of the T shirt slogan of 'if it's too fast or too steep, you're too old'

The kids and I even coined a song (to the tune of Walzing Matilda)

"Don't follow Seana, don't follow Seana
Don't follow Seana when she skis through the trees
As we sang and we set about digging through the undergrowth
Don't follow Seana when she says follow me"

But - on bikes - possibly, sweetness, maybe a bit of caution and contingency...?

Oh no, just "Wheeee"

I mean, who's going to cook me my choice of breakfast if there's gravel on the corner?

Advice - let it come
