I ride both recumbents and road bikes and they both have their advantages and disadvantages. It is strictly a matter of choice. I will share the following:
1. What ever you choose, make certain that it fits you properly and is suited to your medical and physical condition.
2. Recumbents are just as visible and safe as any other cycle.
3. As a recumbent rider, I grow wary of the propaganda from over zealous members of the bent community who constantly state that recumbents are the total answer to comfort and health issues. This totally "BUNK".
The most important thing is that you ride what is best for you
