That is the main reason I'm looking at the recumbent trike. I'm 58 and still in pretty good shape but I think decades of keyboarding (I am a software developer) have done damage to my wrists and the pressure on them when riding a two wheeler causes me to avoid riding all together.

I am also a pretty defensive bike rider and will take the necessary safety precautions when riding a recumbent.
