Indeed. When I had my shoulder surgery, I was predicting exactly the same issues as the poster - not being able to ride a two wheeler for at least 2 months after I could do other things. The three wheel tadpole recumbent was actually fun to build up (I bought a Performer kit) and fun to ride. Not fun enough to find garage space for a long term relationship, but I was very glad I had it for almost three months until the surgeon said my shoulder was as strong as original if not stronger. I was able to easily sell the trike for about $500 less than it cost (Priced for quick sale) which was totally worth the fun I had with it.
