I get a similar experience with my recumbent tricycle, including surprisingly consistently positive reactions from other road-users.

Now I’m curious how the reactions would be for a tandem recumbent tricycle. (Yes, they’re a thing.)

I ride a recumbent bike, and honestly the random commentary is way more positive than I'd expected it to be. Kids go nuts for it, 90%+ of adults' reactions are friendly, too. Lycra-clad street bicyclists are the negative exception, but are easily enough ignored. And it's always fun when you come across another recumbent rider; a friendly wave is all but guaranteed.
