Bikefix was the one. And iirc nicely positioned so you get the hang of the balance on a some side streets and then can turn onto a main road to see what you think of that concept.
Mind you, Duncan and I already both knew how to ride recumbents when we went there to play (having both learn on his PDQ. Way back when he taught me to ride that, it took about half an hour for me to get the balance, and then the rest of the afternoon for me to be certain I wouldn't crash into a hedge. So in fact, a good idea to go and play several times long before you can think of affording one and working out which one you'll think of feeling safe on a road with.
I think Duncan's commute he bought it for was about 10 miles, and it was perfect for that.
