So you want ride low next to the ground in bicycle with no protection other than a plastic helment on your head with an 85 year driver moving along at least 30mph at maybe 3' or 4' feet away you you going at two or three times your speed. If you do decide that's what you want, get some flags on a tall stick at the very least.

I assumed an “exercise” bike was stationary and you could avoid the added expense of that tall flag on the back.
