Eventually, some of us are forced to convert from two wheels to three, in order to reduce the chance of unpleasant impacts with the ground. On the whole, the more sensible strategy may be to convert sooner rather than later. While it's still possible to flip a recumbent trike (cornering at high speed), one really has to work at it. Coming from a family of slow learners, I refused to consider that alternative until a medical professional explained that, while it would be unfortunate to crash and die, it could easily be worse to crash and Not die.
