I have a recumbent -- got it because the neck injury wouldn't let me commute anymore on my beloved stumpy, and it's still my primary bike, though I suspect I can ride an upright as long as I don't push things too much.
Mine's a Vision, and it has the two great advantages of being fairly high, and hence as visable in traffice as an upright, and fitting on a standard metro bike rack (a big advantage, as I've traditionally supplemented my biking with bussing -- you know where we live). It's a short wheel base, so it has pretty squirrelly steering, but one learns to love it... if you ever want to stop by and play with it, just drop me a line.
(I say this in part because I had a heck of a time finding recumbents to play with when I was on the market.)
