Handsome and sexually confused young cyclist crashes and punctures one of the wheels, leaving him stranded, until he's picked up by a strangely obliging gent who convinces him that getting married would be a mistake and a fiasco, and presumably seduces him on the smooth leather of the passenger seat. Gotta love it.
Wrong Chloe.
He's not confused, he's trapped in a car with a creepy gay man who is dispensing creepy pearls of wisdom based on his sexual preferences, and the song is actually about him wishing he'd stayed on his bike..

@Chloe le Fay This is the most succinct and obvious interpretation with much fewer assumptions than some of the wordier alternatives I've seen thrown around. I agree with those among us who are frustrated with every single Smiths song being viewed through the lens of homosexuality, but this is one of the times when I think it's clear as day that there is a male-on-male theme.

@maxdamagus This is such a stupid take, I'm sorry. The overall tone of the song doesn't fit such a dark situation, and honestly this would be a weirdly homophobic scenario for Morrissey to write...

Also him "staying on his bike" was never an option, as made clear by the opening line of the lyric... odd misreading.
