Don't ask me why anyone with a bike wants to take it on a bus.
But you can't. Not on the 43 route in Manchester anyway.
Ask the cyclist who ended up sprawled across the pavement in Rusholme at 6.45am after a passenger lost his patience during a this-bus-aint-goin-nowhere stand-off between driver and cyclist.
Passenger gave cyclist a shove out the bus doors and the driver shot off.
Me, I'm perched up the back, reading my Guardian and tutting about Peru.
You can't condone violence but at least it got us moving. Mind you, I still missed my train.
