[net.bicycle] recumbents practicality?

Does anyone have feedback on how practical recumbent trikes are for
everyday use?  I just finished building one and live in a high traffic
density area.  Even if we had bike paths they wouldn't allow passing of
other bikes.  It seems safety is a MAJOR concern since they take up so
much of the road and are too low to be visible (not that motorists
notice slow bikes anyway).
