Impressive alarm system

Look at this image before reading on.

The bike, in Houston, Tx., doesn't have a saddlebag - the object under the saddle is a bees nest.

Ow.

The image is hosted by the US Navy at their Naval Safety Center website, so is unlikely to be photo-manipulation or a joke, but a little scepticism is always advisible, and there are other examples on the website where a faked image is used to make a serious point about safety.
If you're tempted to browse the site, I'd better mention that a couple of images are genuinely disturbing, showing serious injuries and deaths.
