I often bike up Waterton Canyon, near Denver. It is 6 miles to the top, so a bike makes sense to many fishermen. I usually put on waders and wading boots and put my 4 or 5 piece rods in the back of my vest in the rod sack. As long as I zip it closed around the rod, it stays there very securely. I don't like to take any gear along that somebody might think they need more than I do, so I leave nothing with my bike and lock it to a tree.
