Does a bike meet the definition of a vehicle for purposes of the SJF evading arrest in a vehicle?

Under Transportation Code 541.201, which applies to PC 38.04: Evading Arrest, a vehicle means:

A device that can be used to transport or draw persons or property on a highway. The term does not include:

(a) a device exclusively used on stationary
rails or tracks; or
(b) manufactured housing

Can a bicycle with one seat be used to transport persons (plural) as set out in the definition?

I can remember riding around on the handlebars of a bike when someone else was riding it. Someone really must want this person BAD to consider charging them with felony fleeing on a bicycle. Postscript: Just so no one get's the wrong impression, it's been about 35 or 40 years since I rode on the handlebars.

Clearly, you folks aren't privy to the prevailing modes of transportation on Amarillo Boulevard. Cool
