on your bike

Leave right now

A British expression telling someone to go away or stop being ridiculous.

It dismisses what someone has said as nonsense or rejects an unreasonable request: You want me to work overtime for free? On your bike!

The phrase suggests the person should literally leave—get on their bicycle and pedal off.

Sometimes used playfully, sometimes with genuine irritation.
