Check your local laws.
In a car (in some states) you can carry as long as the firearm is either locked, secured, unloaded, out of reach of the driver or some combination of these. Some states require the clip/ ammo be kept a certain distance from the weapon sometimes secured or locked. Often this means the firearm can be locked in the glove box unloaded with the clip in the backseat.
Since a bike has no lockable area out of reach of the driver and no real way to separate gun and ammo, you'd fall under the personal carry laws. Unless you have the gun in a locked case in your backpack (and probably even then) it's considered carrying a concealed firearm.
A side note here. When riding you will not be able to stop at post offices, librarys, schools, any federal building or bar. ! Many states have laws prohibiting the carrying of a concealed firearm while in a bar or consuming alchohol.

Until about 6 years ago I used to carry a gun everywhere, nowadays I just don't see the point - you have more of a chance of getting your ass in a crack from the law than saving it from some situation that is about as likely as lightning striking. First and most effective rule of self-defense - be aware of your surroundings and avoid trouble when you can see it coming. When you can't see it coming - brains and cool are your best defense. Now that I have opened my big mouth, I'll probably get my ass shot by a road-raged commuter on the way home.

If your local carry laws permit it, cool. If you’re in a dangerous area all the time, try to move someplace else. Otherwise, there are less lethal means of protection with sprays, etc.

Geez atlpirate....you are off to a good start in the cycling world. You are not a fan of roadies, your nerves are starting to get to you in the traffic and you want to carry a gun. Remind me to never cycle in Atlanta.
