aluminum is still a conductor. If you had said that you had a carbon framed bike with carbon wheels and spokes, then your assumption of having no chance of setting off the light would be correct. The problem with motorcycles and bicycles is that there is not enough mass of metal. What occurs is the sensor that is measuring the inductance from the loop does not read it as enough of a change, so it doesn't trigger. You would have to have a lot of bicycles to do that. Figure that you need somewhere close to 1000lbs to properly trigger the system, anything less and your could be sitting there a while if you are not antsy like me (30 seconds, no more).
