To your original question, its been awhile, but way back when I did attach a standard bow saw to my bike frame. I assume yours looks like what is below.
Provided you are talking about a HT bike, it should sort of follow the shape of the frame if mounted the way I rotated the picture. I used to just put cardboard over the blade. Then used a couple old bike tubes with valve cut out to tie it on and protect the frame.
I do agree there are better saws out there, but if that's what you are comfortable with, and are not in the market for another saw, this is super cheap.

I've got a 12" Corona, double row teeth... It deals with abuse better, but the Sven cuts faster/easier due to the thinness of the blade/depth of the teeth.
Just my opinion, of course.

I SAW this thread so figured I'd pop in.
That being said, @TAS gets a ton of work done at Mercer with couple of Silkies.
You should ask JORBA's money launderer for stipend funds to cover this.....

This tucks away nicely, stows the blade (I left some stick out for the photo) and unlike a bow saw, the rectangular shape let's more for and aft travel as I get deeper into the log.
Just confirming that the Silky saws are awesome. I bought the yellow 14" one one Amazon for $55 at the advice of this forum. The 3-4" diameter stuff really does take only a minute. I've used plenty of cheaper saws that made these seemingly simple jobs take more like 10 minutes due to binding/bending and required far more muscle effort.
I’d encourage everyone to buy the folding version that fits in your pack.
I have the one that even fits in my fanny pack.
Take some time any cut back any face slapped you encounter.
Pick up some trash too.
