iT IS BAD ENOUGH ON A BIKE, A trike takes up more room on the road is lower and people have less experience with them.

It also takes more room in your garage.
The "why" has to do with my wrists. I can't ride more than a couple miles without pain so I avoid riding altogether. Exercise and diet are the two most important things for maintaining quality of life as you age. If a recumbent bike will negate the wrist pain, then I will go back to riding regularly.
