Some riders are concerned that the low profile of a recumbent translates into lower visibility. In the desert southwest, bike riders share the road with humongous SUVs which would mask riders of Penny Farthing bicycles from view! Actually, like Penny Farthings, recumbent bikes are so unusual looking that I think theyre more visible than normal bikes. Some bent riders will assuage their fear by putting a flag on a lightweight mast. I have a mast and flag, too, however it is extra a fashion statement than a safety device.
