Drive somebody on a bike?

Thanks AlpheccaStars, it's clearer now. I like the way US looked in the 19th century before motor car was invented. If both of them rode the horse instead of the carriage, can I say,

He used to drive his wife to town on a horse.

BulbulTada can I say,He used to drive his wife to town on a horse. , but you wouldn't normally talk about driving on a horse. If she were on the horse's back she would be riding it, and you'd probably say something like "He and his wife used to ride to town (on horseback)"

BulbulTadacan I say,He used to drive his wife to town on a horse.

He could drive her to town in a cart/carriage/wagon/buckboard etc., but you wouldn't normally talk about driving on a horse. If she were on the horse's back she would be riding it, and you'd probably say something like "He and his wife used to ride to town (on horseback)"
