I'm not quite sure what your asking, but it's commonly said:
I go to school by bus.
I go to school by car.
I go to school by bike.
I go to school by foot (or on foot - that one goes both ways).
We would not say "I go to school by the bike." Are you quite sure that's what your teacher said is correct?
Who's "we".Quote:

If I'm going into the city, I might take the bus, ie. go by bus.
