Depends. Mine only interferes when in reverse. Not worth turning Parking Assist off for this short period of time. That is up to you but I have forgot to rearm the Park Assist before and it works quite well.

If you have Cross Traffic Alert w/Auto Braking then you also have ICS (intelligent clearance sonar). Which uses the parking sensors to auto brake the car. Lexus specifically mentions turning this off if you carry a bike rack. I guess it depends of the rack and bike trigger the sensors.
