Reminds me to that old story with two guys cycling on a tandem.
Working real hard to climb a step hill they made it to the top.  Guy 
in front " I never cycled up that a step hill", guy on the back seat 
"Yeah, I am pretty sure we would have rolled back if I hadn't 
pushed hard on the brake all the time"
