Hell they use bikes in the plants because walking is too strenuous.

To be fair, the bikes aren't there so they don't have to walk. Plants are big, so the bikes save labor costs in getting from place to place. Otherwise, the plants wouldn't have them. They also don't have an engine to ingest flammable gas in a loss of containment, so they can't backfire or over-rev to blow the fricking place sky high.

The ignition point in the 2005 explosion at BP's Texas City refinery was a crew truck that breathed in the leaking fumes, over-revved, and backfired.
