I started over a couple of times, and the most recent break was due to health issues. However, because my health care provider declared two wheel biking was much too dangerous because of the risk of crashing, I thought my life was in effect, over. But my orthopedist said to check out recumbent trikes. I did so, and made a fairly quick recovery with the aid of e-assist. You might not think you would ever want to ride a trike, as I did not. But situations change and you might need to consider alternatives. Because riding is better than not riding.
