I think lawyers these days would tend to say "those who own a car or a bike(or both)" or "those who own a car and bike (or either)". No less a person than Fowler labelled the two types of OR as being either disjunctive (A or B but not both) or copulative (Aor B or both). Never could understand why it isn't just "conjunctive"!
