An ex collegue of mind who was a cabbie told me the same, how he ever got around london on a bike i dont know as he was at least twenty stone and always had a fag in his hand! None the less he told me the phrase "on yer bike" came derived from that as all cabbies learnt the knowledge on push bikes or mopeds.
