3. Three wheels would stay on the ice better than two, but not in traffic. While three wheels will keep you from crashing on the ice, the MUCH SLOWER speed will make you a bigger annoyance to motorists, especially the ones' that don't like cyclists being on the road.
4. Recumbent bikes are also not good in traffic. I bet, an angry motorist, that doesn't like cyclists, would want to run you over, as if, you were a squirrel, bird, snake(depending on what region of the U.S. you live in) or, dog.
Please don't continue to entertain the thought? I imagine you becoming 'road-kill', on your first day of riding in traffic.
You're number two is a fallacious argument. Most motorists who yell out their pearls of (non) wisdom will do so no matter how many wheels your conveyance may have. My experience has been that when I have been on busier roads on my Trike, motorists tend to give me a wider berth.
