I think that's a fair point, it's uncommon. This thread on wordreference points out that when you give someone a ride, the rider might say "I rode on his bike."
I'm mulling the Japanese over in my head, and I think the speaker is the one operating the bike. If they were getting a ride, 乗せる (noseru) would more likely be used.

Can somebody explain why "I go by bike" is not accepted? English is not my first language and I don't see much difference to "I ride a bike".
