When my wife rides her trike she gets the whole lane. People around here won't pass her unless they can change lanes or take the entire lane going the other directions. We live on and mostly ride in two lanes roads with barely enough room for cars there is no shoulder, sidewalk or bike lane/path on most roads.
Of course it only takes one person to miss the flag or twin dinottes on her bike but that goes the same
for any bike you ride. A trike or recumbent usually gets a second look, slowdown and careful pass but it isn't something to depend on. Always be ready to go into that ditch
Two bikes often discussed over at bentrideronline for heavier riders with official 350# weight limits
