    Military stories come to mind - Едем машиной до Москвы!
    As to the bikes (велосипед, мотоцикл), theoretically possible as well (since Russian is an inflected language). Maybe less used in speech and more clumsy than машиной, though. Don't provoke me here! He-he. Perhaps because they're two-wheeled types of transportation. Well, sometimes it's kinda using defective (insufficient) Russian verbs, when theoretically they have some of their weird form but it's hardly ever used in real speech (one of them is пис́ать, and we never use its clumsy adverbial participle form пиша, but it's possible). The thing is to feel the language.
    So, don't be afraid of making mistakes. You'll be understood anyway, I guess. It's like in English, what the heck do I hear 'there is' instead of 'there are', 'was' instead of 'were', etc.

    Could you please start using regular English? Whatever language you are currently using here is not acceptable on this forum. I will have to delete your similar posts from now on.

    Dude, this is kinda rude! I'd tell ya then gtfo, ok?
    Ты меня учить будешь, чтоль, лоллипоп заморский?! Во даёт!

    Касательно правила, it-ogo прав - употребление с предлогом - идеальный вариант (особенно для одаренных громовержцев).
    Однако, есть мнение:
    При употреблении творительного падежа надо учитывать ситуацию. Нельзя употреблять в значении "сейчас", но в неопределенном временном интервале допустимо: до Москвы мы ехали поездом, а далее - машиной.
    Например:
    Надо было ехать поездом до Ленинграда из Сосновой Рощи, потом из Ленинграда поездом ― до Комарово. [Алексей Щеглов. Фаина Раневская: вся жизнь]
    Кто-то из немцев посоветовал ехать машиной до Шонхольца, так как оттуда легко де на поезде махнуть в Хеннигсдорф. [В. Н. Гельфанд. Дневники]

    Странно, что здесь завели речь про "пешком". Это средство транспорта? Или мы когда-либо говорим "на пешке" и поэтому это исключение? "Ногами" будем обсуждать?

    i mean no disrespect to the love jamaicans and bermies have for their way of speaking.. but it takes 1,2,_,4,5,_,7..8 characters to say "ai an ai" and butchers three english words in one fell swoop... by comparison "I" takes 1 character, butchers nothing, and is a lot more common and universally accepted..

    Oi mate, look 'ere, wivin 'eez provehhbial wools be some blokes wot's 'ere from Loondon, but ye'll not see 'em toiking groit pains to moik sure that you, as the reader, wook awoi wif de imprezhun wot that they's from Loondon... ann'ee reason's not in any smool pahht becuuzuva lakkaluv feh Loondon, y'annastan, mate, but rawver frew a spirit o combined RESPECT for one anuver, innat ey don' wanna cause unnecessary pains to der fellow lehhnehs, wot in attempting to read some such wot as were written jus loik it were pronounced.. savvy?
