Would you simply say 'lo vi en bicicleta' rather than trying to translate, he cycled past me?
Ah right, I thought you’d meant cycle past like in traffic.
Probably varies by region, but I’d say pasar. E.g., Lo ví pasar (en bicicleta), I saw him/it pass by (on a bike). Pasó en bicicleta frente a mi trabajo, he/it cycled past my workplace.
You can also use ‘pasar’ for ‘pass/stop by’: pasé por un café antes del trabajo.
Not sure why I specified ‘he/it’, as it’s probably a ‘he’ if he/it is riding a bike. Although I suppose bears can ride bikes too.

Ahhh cheers. Never heard that verb - looks like to overtake.
I meant though, let's say you're just standing in the street, but someone went by on their bike.
