Dear sir,

I read this sentence in the grammar book ' I can't imagine Peter going by bike'.
So I try to make other sentences such as ' I can't imagine him going by bike' and transform to ' I can't imagine me going by bike'.

Are these sentences are correct? I induced the Peter as an objective so changed to him and
me.
I am waiting for your kind answer.

Thank you.
David Lee.

For "me", it is "I can't imagine going by bike" (if this makes sense in context) or "I can't imagine myself going by bike."

Welcome to the forum. Please see my amendments to your post above. I agree with the previous poster that "I can't imagine going by bike" would be the most natural, but "I can't imagine myself going by bike" would be understood.
 
Thank you for your reply.
Now I got a clear idea of the sentences.
