We use 'on' for all transport which you walk 'on' to. For example, big planes are boarded by walking on, so we say 'I'm on the plane'. Buses are walked 'on' to, so we say 'I'm on the bus'. With a 'bike' you are the object 'on' the bike. Swap the bike for a table and you for keys and it's the same relationship.
Use:
I'm on time.
