I've been commuting 20km each way on a highracer for a couple of years now on fairly heavily trafficked roads, and I reckon it's at least as safe, if not safer than my old mountain bike. It's not just the 'freak factor' either, although that does help. My considered opinion is that the recumbent's handling and braking is superior to the mountain bike. Just allow youeself a bit of a learning curve before doing anything too hair-raising.
