On

Context: They are travelling by bike.

The rider and pillion are on the bike.

Is "on" correct?

  

Top answer

Let's assume there are two people on a bike. The rider refers to the person in front, who is pedalling, holding the handlebars, etc. the pillion refers to a seat behind the rider's seat.
