Check your lug nut torque before you ride again. Every single one of you.

It's not a bad idea to, each spring, check every nut, bolt, screw and fastener from one end to the other. I learned this the hard way from years on boats.

One key thing before taking the "spring ride" is to check your tire pressure(s).

That’s for the lug nut information, I came over from the BMW world and we always checked the torque specs on our rear wheels lugs, so it make common sense to check the ones on our Trike.
