Dude, that would never work. I'd say you'd have a 1 in 100 chance with that line. You've got a 50/50 shot with this one: "I really like your bike, what's your name?" followed by "hi <her name>, I'm <your name>." Sound too simple? It works.

Here are 5 easy steps to the quick pick up:

1. Start with a quick complement. Be genuine, yet creative. Complement something she's wearing, holding, doing or, in this case riding. The more unique the item the better. She picked it, so she probably likes it and she wants to hear that you like it too. It's something you have in common. She likes her bike, probably alot. You like her bike. She likes that you like her bike. DON'T complement her eyes, smile, hair, etc... (not now anyway, we'll get to that in a minute) She knows she has pretty eyes and she's heard it before. Now there's nothing interesting about you, you share nothing in common. You're just another guy who likes her eyes. Also try to avoid complementing things like band t-shirts or button etc... there are a crap-ton of guys who like green day, you want her to know that you're unique, just like her. If the band is local or not well known and you really do know and like the band, you're in good shape, otherwise avoid this area altogether.

2. Ask her name. You need to know her name so you can call her by it. People love to hear their own name (read 7 habits of highly successful people).

3. If you find an easy way to strike up a conversation, or if you have already started one go with it as long as it's natural. Don't force a conversation, if you can't find a good way to start one up, or if the conversation you are having is losing momentum, move on to 4.

4. Now tell her you think she has a nice smile, nice hair, nice eyes or a nice laugh. (these are the best features, but if there's something else you like about her, go for it). She likes you now and will welcome this kind of complement. Obviously avoid complements about her body, for now anyway, that's 2nd or 3rd date stuff. If she looks even remotely like an attractive celebrity, tell her she reminds you of that person. Chances are at least one person has told her so in the past, and she will like it. This is an ultra quick step, almost a part of the last step.

5. At this point you're done. You've done a good job or you haven't. She likes you or she doesn't. It's time to seal the deal. Tell her you think she's interesting and you'd like to get to know her better. Get a number. Tell her it was nice meeting her, but you have to go. You're too important to stand around chatting all day. You have places to be, people to meet, things to do. Even if the places are the dry cleaners and your moms house, the people are your cat and the mail man and the things to do are watering your lawn and checking your email.

This should all be done in well under 5 minutes, unless you're in a social setting and even then it should be under 10 to 15 minutes unless there's some serious chemistry. There are some more advanced techniques for these settings if you want to keep her interest longer than that.

I personally guarantee this method. You should be able to get the phone numbers of girls that are way out of your league using this technique. It could easily be done on a bike. Or in line at the store. Or on the bus. It's still a numbers game, the more times you do it, the more girls you'll meet. Some girls won't like you no matter what you do, but this is infinitely better than "some weather we're having" or "I have some questions about your bike riding habits, could you pull over?"
