Are you sure this is right? The wording is very curious if there are three men in the car, also where is the appostrophe in 'ones' - it could make a difference.
Oh, they say there's no gay sex involved, but there always is.... 
I also have heard this riddle previously phrased differently (with the mother/father/son answer). Usually grammar and wording are actually fairly important in these riddles, and Mantic's post kind of leaves those areas wanting.
Otherwise, father, step-father, and son seems most logical to me also, implying no blood relation. Or there are a variety of sillier possibilities; the step-father could also incidentally be related to the father (i.e. his brother). But none of those are particularly compelling.

It was made very clear that they were 3 THREE men.. But.. I'm with you.. I can't figure this one out. Actually told him he was mistaken.. It's a biological oxymoron.
And to the people who sent me messages on myspace about this riddle - sorry if i didn't reply to you perhaps you will see this post.
i found this
3 men are in a car going across a bridge. The 3 men are blood related. The father is the other ones son.

Wherever these riddles are at on the internet, there has to be a solution.
Edit: Here's a guess... what about Father, Son, Son?

While you're working on that one (which I think is mangled) try this real riddle:
A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls gun out from under the bar and points it at the man. The man says "thank you" and walks out.
Why?

Here's the original riddle :
"Brothers and sisters have I none, but that man's father is my father's son."
Who is that man ?

Cured his hiccups maybe? Heh - a gun would do that to me!
Excellent. You guys never heard this one before? Confess!
Good old Ray Stevens.
BTW, I assume the solution to the OP's riddle (assuming it's not mangled) is connected to the "over the bridge" part. Are the three men drowned? Still doesn't totally make sense.
I saw this David Lynch movie.
All I remember were some midgets, a guy in an animal mask and a random Roy Orbison song...
