I must disagree. Most of the recumbent trikes I've seen take up no more lane width than a motorcycle. The greater width does, however, mean you have to be more careful in traffic, and it's harder to avoid road hazards. And believe me, when you are on a recumbent trike in traffic, you don't feel like you are in a cage. You feel like you wish you were in a cage with two inch titanium bars!
