:) To be honest I think that more than 2 wheel recumbents suck. E.g. trikes are not good for healthy people who can maintain balance; trikes are too clumsy. But something like a two-wheel "high racer" with short wheel base are fine for normal city use. Occasional curbs up to about 6 inches are not a problem. One can just ride on a small curb slowly in approximately perpendicular direction without an issue. I use my recumbent for any errands which are over paved roads, do not need a car trunk and are not longer than 34 miles.
Recumbents are a complete crap outside of paved roads. You cannot do a bunny hop on them which more or less prohibits their use for "cross country", "trail", "enduro",
