With this question I am pondering the idea of whether someone such as myself who seems to be balance-challenged would be better off with a tricycle over a bicycle. 

Everyone I have told about this idea seems to find it laughable.  However, I've been researching it and there seems to be a lot of reasons to opt for three wheels instead of two. 

Over the years, I have tried every now and then to ride a bike with no luck.  I just can't seem to stay balanced. 

Apparently, you have to pick up a bit of speed to stay balanced and I'm too scared to do that. I worry I'll lose control of the bike. 

It happens to be a plus point of a tricycle; going slowly doesn't cause wobble.  

Also, one thing I have noticed, there is more room on the back for stuff.

What stuff you may wonder?  I don't know yet but I know that space would come in handy if I were to start tricycling around. 

I don't need to as a I have a car but I also enjoy walking places, even though I have a car.

A negative seems to be the cost so I'm not sure how realistic it will ever be and do I need one? No, I don't.

But here's what I do know. I'd be a happier tricyclist than bicyclist.
