I disagree.  If a cache requires the use of a piece of equipment, then it 
is special equipment.  You are correct in that most people know how to ride 
a bike, but I don't currently own one.  If I wanted to do this cache I 
would have to either go out and buy, borrow or rent a bike.  In my book, 
that makes it special equipment, no different than if I had to buy, borrow 
or rent scuba or climbing equipment.
