the MUCH SLOWER speed will make you a bigger annoyance to motorists, especially the ones' that don't like cyclists being on the road.
4. Recumbent bikes are also not good in traffic. I bet, an angry motorist, that doesn't like cyclists, would want to run you over, as if, you were a squirrel, bird, snake(depending on what region of the U.S. you live in) or, dog.
Please don't continue to entertain the thought? I imagine you becoming 'road-kill', on your first day of riding in traffic.
It sounds like you think drivers are frequently and deliberately smashing into cyclists. That would be first degree murder, or at least extreme recklessness. It just isn't very likely to happen and isn't something that a reasonable cyclist worries about.
