My wife rides (when she has use of both legs) her own bike. Refuses to ride on my bike, but would consider riding with our friend Glen. I take slight umbrage at that last part, but the fact is that she really prefers to ride her own bike. We won't know until she can walk again if she's going to get back on that bike, if she's going to go for a different bike or a trike, or if she's going to follow in a chase car. I suspect that she'd go to a trike before a cage, but I won't know that for a couple of months. I agree with Ulvet and LongRanger that there are distinct disadvantages to the 3-wheeled option, but the upside is that she'd be able to travel with me in the most similar mode of transportation to my own.
What I was not sure about in the OP was whether he was contemplating getting a trike for 2-up riding or getting a trike for his wife and he would stay on 2 wheels. Personally, I would lobby for the latter, but as previously stated, it's not a an issue for me since my wife refuses to ride on a 2 or 3 wheeled vehicle when I am the pilot.
