I believe the only nuclear powered vehicles we currently have are some aircraft carriers (perhaps some other really big military boats?) and submarines. (Some spacecraft/probes have been powered by nuclear reactors as well, but the nuclear power doesn't actually provide the propulsion.)

But yes, staying out of the way of all of these things while on a bike is a good general plan.
Yes, and maybe, just maybe, there are like armed guards in the motorcade, who are instructed, and have been drilled, to jump out of their Humvees with machine guns, ready to fire, in the event that the motorcade comes to an unplanned stop. That could panic the citizenry.
