Yes, here recumbents also use those flags, that's true. I might've been over-assuming the link between a flag and low skill. Perhaps it's more about signaling vulnerability w.r.t. other traffic. Regardless, I think that flag + sticking an A on it (or whatever symbol is used to indicate a new driver) is a clear symbol.

I always presumed they were simply to add visibility as the target they're attached to is smaller, compared to an adult on a traditional bike. Very few recumbent riders I've encountered are rookies, except, maybe, to the recumbent - most are experienced riders who've transitioned to the new position. | |
