And I suppose it would be much easier for me to get to work without "carrying" my bicycle as well.

To be fair, the principle is a little different - but it's the same general idea. It's well known that cavemen had tons of fast twitch muscle fiber but little endurance. Fred could probably only run a hundred feet, but could give his car a tremendous push of speed every 15 seconds or so without difficulty (just watch him get started for an idea of how much force he can generate).

And the clip with the bus was misleading: they tilted the picture. Really the bus is going up a hill at that point, so the driver had the rear wheel folded up. Most of the caveman bus routes we've discovered followed the pattern of short uphill sections followed by long, coasting downhills - which again matches well with caveman physiology.

Discarding this video. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
