Motorbikes don't go at 20 km/h. Car drivers are already in cages.

Lovely, but when drivers pass too near, it can be bad. I was pushed to the side, off the road once. Having a flag sticking has a psychological effect - the flag needn't be wider than the bike's handlebars. But it still works, makes drivers give you more room. Which IS nice.
