This is the rike I had, it is not one of those ground hugger trikes. I sold it becasue I could not carry enough cargo on it.

If it were me and I had to ride a recumbent I would be thinking about mounting a thin metal pole on the rear of the bike strong enough to support some really bright daytime flashing lights and high enough to get them noticed ( about six feet should do it )
Even with the best solutions you can come up with you are still going to get the occasional jerk-wad.
