Hoi Florent,
An upright is certainly better to ride in Town - you simply see more and
it is difficult with a recumbent to "jump" on pavements.
In the light of your riding style, there is another downside: you are
much more _noticed_ (some would call this an advantage ;-) ): I have
experienced more aggresive reactions from automobilist when violating
traffic regulations on my recumbent then on an upright. Even the
innocent "going right on red" violation is often rewarded by honk of a
car! On an upright cars just do not (want to) see/notice you. may be the
french are more laisez faire...?
