Sure. I think most things will apply equally. I have never ridden a
recumbent (well, once for about 1 min), so from my perspective the
biggest difference will be that you are lower and that sometimes makes
it harder to see ahead and to the side to anticipate things. But as I
said the rest should be the same (lane positioning etc).
