For anyone like me using both this Bicycle mod +
A Hotwire Nerf mod, I think I've managed to get a temporary workaround that lets the two mods play somewhat nicer together.

The following involves you making a small change to your 'Server_AHotWireNerfMod.lua' found under "steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2738969410\mods\ahotwirenerfmod\media\lua\server". Once you find this file, open it up with Notepad or any text editor of your choosing, and add the following to Line 33 of the file:

-- check if car has only 1 seat, (bikes/ motorbikes/ certain vehicles)
if t_SeatCount == 1 then
return;
end;

All this is doing is telling the Hotwire Nerf mod to stop doing checks on any vehicles that have only 1 seat. This means that now bicycles won't short out and spark wires after you hop onto them, ALTHOUGH this does mean that motorbikes/ certain specialty vehicles with only 1 seat also won't short out.

I think this is fair trade since they usually offer zero protection against zombies, though letting you know now in case you wonder why hotwired motorbikes are suddenly more reliable than your hotwired car or tank.

==========================

I did have a question for Braven though. Is there any way to get your mod's functions to be called in another mod's .lua files? I ask because I tried your BravensBikeUtils.isBike(vehicle) function, though it threw a few errors whenever I entered a vehicle and appeared to let all hotwired vehicles ignore the sparks from the Hotwire nerf mod.

If that function returns a boolean that would make sense, though I'm also not sure how well it would interact with the other mod's function calls so I stuck with t_SeatCount == 1.

Any thoughts as to how I could get it to play better with your Bicycles mod using that function or a similar one?
