In the UK 'I bonked' means I got frisky and did the business in lurve!!
My parents are from the UK and so I got exposed to a lot of British TV growing up. I had to explain this definition to my boyfriend when I first got into cycling...after I stopped laughing. I think I actually said "You can do that on a bike? Damn, you're talented!"
