switching from a trike to an upright?

Watching the TdF this morning pulled some feelings I've had
recently that maybe I don't get something. I've had 2 two-wheel
recumbents and now have a trike. I like the recumbents, but
it sometimes feels like a production to get on the bike and
ride. Would it be easier if I went back to an upright?

I enjoy the trike, but it seems 'wide'... like I have to be
aware of every stick or post. And the rumble strips just
flat annoy me.

I'm concerned about the uprights seats, the bending over,
having a sore back, shoulders, wrists, hands, etc.

I appreciate everyone's comments on this thought.
