I don't believe our rating system is there to rate how difficult it is to
reach the cache by bike. The rating system is there to let every cacher
know what to expect before attempting the cache. A rating of 5 is
telling us that "special equipment" is required to obtain this cache
regardless of how difficult it is to reach with the bike. In this case,
a bike is required thus it is considered "special equipment."

That is exactly the point. Since you cannot reach it
by
any other means, as stated on the web page, the rating
is for bikes
only. Which implies that it is a relatively
easy approach on a bike, as
opposed to a difficult bike
rating.
