The general consensus is yes, Albert Einstein conceived of his theory of relativity while riding his bicycle. It is said that:
"while riding his bicycle at night Einstein observed that [the] beam cast from his headlamp always traveled at the same speed whether he was cruising at a quick speed or coasting to stop."
Thus the theory - light from a moving source has the same velocity as light from a stationary source.
Unfortunately, this information is merely a "tale." It has not been historically proven.
