I ride a recumbent trike. The last stretch of my usual ride is a narrow rural road with a steep downhill and a 90 degree right turn. I prepare for that turn by leaning far to the right. A year ago I didn't slow going through that turn except for feathering the right brake lever. My rear wheel slides a little to the left. Now that I'm 81½ I have started slowing a bit before entering the turn. Maybe it's just that I'm riding a different trike (ICE Sprint instead of Catrike 700), but I think that I'm a little more cautious due to getting older and having experienced a few non bike related incidents.
