Wind

I have frequently considered getting a recumbent tadpole to deal with the windy conditions I face on a regular basis. Too often have I been hampered by windy conditions. Facing 20+ mph winds is quite regular.

Is it worth it? I am specifically interested in the tadpole design because of the stability. A 2 wheel recumbent would get blown over just as easily, if not more easily, as a normal bike. And yes... I have regularly fought against being blown over. But I don't know if it would be worth it to get a recumbent trike to deal with the high wind conditions that I face. That's the question. Is it any easier?

Help from a trike rider with experience riding in high wind would be very appreciated.
