I really don't believe the bicycle flags will present a visibility issue. I remember a thread, similar to this one, created last year; where people discussed the possibility that the five foot goal directly in front of the center alliance member's driver station would impede the vision of that alliance's drivers. I was one of the drivers on our team last year, and I never had a problem with this, nor heard anyone else ever complain about it. People will always be a little nervous, which is ok, but this is even less of a concern than it was last year, and I'm sure it will be fine.
