quite the contrary, I have had (to me) a suprising amount of luck
tripping these puppies with my *bicycle*.  You just need to know where
to sit.  Many of them are in a sideways figure 8 (sortof), and to
trip it you just have to sit on the middle of the pattern.  For
simple loops, just park it on one of the sides.  In most locations
you can tell where the loops are, they seem to cut them out when
they pave the streets; in other locations, they paint the pattern
on the street!
