Your example works because you don't supply us with any evidence about your means of transport, so many suitable hypothesis' exist.

Exactly. Scientists do not know how phenomina occur; the means of transport in my example represents this.
This whole idea was spawned from reading an article on gamma bursts. The amount of energy generated by these gamma bursts was too great; it said that E=mc^2 wrong. Because they said this couldn't be, the scientific community began its guesswork. The eventually accepted theory was that gamma bursts look like this...
... with the cone shapes facing us, giving the it a stacking effect, which would make the energy output recorded from the redshift feasable. Though it is a widely accepted theory, it is one of many possibilities.
The whole bicycle thing was a personification to the methods currently used by scientists. Somewhat of a metaphor.
