Nope.  new Bike[10] allocates a new dynamically-sized array of length 10; 
the type of that expression is Bike[], not Bike[10].  It's really sugar for 
new Bike[](10).  Thus its length can change.

It's not actually possible to allocate a statically-sized array on the heap 
directly.  You have to use a templated struct and allocate that.
