    Depends on the learning curve and if you have any technical issues :-)

    I test rode a half dozen or so varying style bents. The Tour Easy and GRR felt *really* nice. I'm
    sure one of the short wheel base bikes (with the pedals about shoulder level) was faster, and a lot
    of fun. The Tour Easy felt like a safer option for me, I wasn't comfortable with the distance to the
    ground from the pedals, thought it could be awkward in an emergency.

    Ahaa, very good :-) Maybe many people do have a chance to test ride these days, after all...

    Me, I don't like sitting high in the air (comfort or safety wise) 😉

    Speaking from experience, falling with feet on pedals doesn't seem that dangerous. :o) Could be
    safer than falling with feet disengaged... Though, emergencies come in many kinds.
