First off, I'm going to think really really hard about the last time someone use a bike as an IED in the states.
Then I'm going to think about how a half-box box of ammo is cheaper than a Big Mac combo meal. Getting a gun without a license is slightly more challenging than googling "gun show" and remembering what state I'm in.
Now! I'm going to think of ten more readily capable everyday pedestrian objects to cram full of explosives.
It's always fun walking around after realizing that everything around you could be a bomb. Hell, at that point, seeing a "This object is a bomb" sticker might not be as funny. In fact! I'd be a little pissed off it wasn't. Diverting my fear from the REAL bomb. That plastic flower vase. The half-empty fast food bag. That suspicious-looking toddler's back pack.
Oh. And way to let the terrorists win, looooooooooooosssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr.

They would also prohibit all bicycles from entering the area. Which would be fine, because the number of people inconvenienced would be less than the number of people relieved by such a measure.
However! If this band were "This Car is a Bomb" and on a car and it blew up... They wouldn't just prohibit cars. Then! All of a sudden such a measure would be unthinkable and going too far.
Man, I think there would be teenagers doing nothing but running around slapping those stickers on cars then.
Also! Surprised no one brought up the old first amendment -vs- yelling fire in a crowded theater debate.
