I think you're more visible on a bicycle, assuming you're wearing bright clothes. You're up higher. As for getting off, it depends. The thing with a bike is that it is incredibly light and you can pull off maneuvers that you can't on a scooter or a motorcycle. Plus your speeds are generally going to be lower. I'm not going to be much over 20mph around town on a bicycle, especially if I'm commuting. On a scooter, people are going to be doing 40mph easy.
