Never had a problem with them on a bicycle, the induction loops are usually visible, just make sure to properly cross them. Maybe the material of the bicycle makes a difference, mine is steel.

    The bike with which I had problems at my workplace had an aluminium frame.
    The one at the blockaded turning lane already was my new steel bike, though.

    But I guess the amount of ferromagnetic metal does make a difference nonetheless.

    Here in Germany the induction loops are paved over with regular asphalt, so without a sign reminding them of their presence, you won't notice them.
