* ''Film/RomanHoliday'': Joe takes Princess Ann to see the sights of Rome on his Vespa. Ann later tries to drive it herself and Joe chases after her to try and steer it properly, causing a disturbance that gets them arrested. They get out of it, and the experience is one that solidifies their odd mutual attraction.

* ''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart'':
** Chapter 16/Episode 4 has Ichikawa [[FateDrivesUsTogether meeting Yamada when she was walking out of candy story]], and ends up giving her a ride on his bike to a candy shop at her request (Which was a joke that he took seriously). At this point she's starting to develop an interest in Ichikawa, and it's among of the first times that they've had a proper conversation. Ichikawa lampshades the scenario and thinks about how Yamada's not sitting sideways.
** Way later, she has Ichikawa give her a ride out of school to the convenience store on [[ValentinesDayEpisode Valentine's Day]][[note]] Chapter 72, Episode 16[[/note]]. By now Yamada ''is'' in love with him, and intends on spending enough time with him during the day to try and get her [[ChocolateOfRomance feelings across through chocolate]]. She also tugs at his coat and leans into his back. And this time she ''is'' sitting sideways.
** Afterwards, Ichikawa defies this. Because he wants to get exercise by walking more (Still with Yamada), because two-person bike riding is against the law, and because this trope just flat out scares him.

SisterTrope to FlightOfRomance. If it's a tandem bike they're sharing, the person at the back might be a positive TandemParasite. See also MotorcycleOnTheCoastRoad if the romantic ride sharing happens on the coast road. Unrelated to RidingIntoTheSunset unless the lovers' ride happens at the end of a work.

* ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu'': Done twice between Sosuke and Kaname. The first time, they were riding a "borrowed" bicycle after retrieving Kaname's notes for a school assignment from Sousuke's apartment. It's a truly tender and touching scene... until a cop tries to bust them for riding double on a bike. Later, after a scare at an abandoned hospital where Sosuke thought Kaname had been hurt, he's carrying her on his bike and admits briefly that he'd been scared she'd been mortally wounded. Kaname was so happy about hearing this that she nearly causes him to crash, teasing him about it.

* One of the earliest romantic moments in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' comes when Kaguya is walking to school for the first time and is at risk running late due to having gotten distracted escorting a young girl. Shirogane (who is also at risk of running late) then comes up behind her pedaling like a madman, and then (without even thinking of the romantic implications) demands that she gets on the back of his bike since a student council member being tardy would reflect poorly on the school. Kaguya returns to being driven to school the next day, but is shown looking back on the memory quite fondly.

* ''Manga/SnowWhiteWithTheRedHair'': Shirayuki doesn't know how to ride a horse and thus has to ride with someone else or take a carriage for long distances. Her boyfriend deeply wants to ride with her, but his attendants point out that due to his station he can't and she rides with one of them instead. While he does eventually get to ride with her for a short distance by the time he'd be able to ride with her again she's learned to ride on her own, which disappoints him while he tries to congratulate her.

* At the end of ''Literature/{{It}}'', Bill takes his wife Audra - who is [[HeroicBSOD catatonic]] from the horrific events - for a ride on his old bicycle, riding fast and recklessly like he did in his childhood.

* In ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'', Makoto is seen without her signature bike, so Mamiya tells her to hop on his bike instead. He takes the opportunity to ask her out during their ride.
* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl''. Henrietta has a PrecociousCrush on her handler Jose and is a fan of ''Film/RomanHoliday'', so she's delighted when Jose has to [[HeroStoleMyBike borrow Priscilla's Vespa]] so they can both chase after some terrorists. A more platonic version has Priscilla, who [[CutenessProximity dotes]] on the BadassAdorable cyborg girls, giving them lifts on her Vespa in an effort to make friends with them.
* ''Literature/{{Hyouka}}'' provides an interesting example. When Chitanda offers Oreki a ride home on her bike he begins to [[ImagineSpot imagine two scenarios]], one of Chitanda being the one to drive the bike while he's the one holding her waist with a colorful background behind them along with butterflies, and the other is him driving the bike while she's the one holding onto him with angels and birds in the background. He refuses the offer anyway.
* Hilariously {{subverted|trope}} in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureJojolion''. Daiya attempts to {{invoke|d trope}} this trope, with her and Josuke sharing the same bike, and her asking him to sing Music/{{Queen}}'s "Bicycle Race" once she starts pedaling. Problem is, Josuke is {{oblivious|to love}} of her advances on him, and because he's amnesiac, he has no clue what that song is.
