For me anyway riding a trike is the easiest way to bike there is. Once you are clipped in, you can stay clipped in at stops. No wobbling around starting up, you just pedal off. Then of course the is the view. You have more than a a 180 degree view, and you can even look almost straight up in to trees etc. As far as bumps and holes, you are close to the ground, and can see them and steer around most of them.
