Bikes: My frame is covered in reflective tape. After adding ridiculously large handlebars, a comfy seat, and enough carrying capacity to haul a Thanksgiving grocery run home, the manufacturer wouldn't recognize it.

A H*mmer is a mock-up of a large military vehicle. Push a baby stroller through a cross-walk where one of these gigantic vehicles is looming over you, and you may get the creepy feeling that the H*mmer is part of some military invasion force. A commercial H*mmer is inefficient at moving cargo around; it is inefficient at moving people around; its main purpose seems to be to make pedestrians and small vehicles feel unwelcome on their own streets. If the H*mmer driver wants to "play soldier", why don't they just get some toy plastic soldiers and head for their own backyard sandbox?
