You gonna eat that?
DFW Airport is actually kind of easy to get into. There is a Remote South parking lot that you can get to using (non-freeway) surface streets; from there, shuttle buses can get to any terminal. Not sure about actually riding around in the airport though; the main road is a 55 mph freeway.

You may have already figured this out, but this looks doable, as there are signs and markings for traffic in both directions.

Meanwhile at the southern end of the airport a fleet of Cannondales sat in the terminal ready for the complimentary use of those flying "General Aviation" (meaning private jets)...

In a past life I was an Airline Pilot. When I was based in Rochester (KROC) a Captain I'd often fly with would ride his bike to work all summer. He simply locked it up along the fence, went through security in his bike clothes, and took a shower and changed into his uniform down in the rampers locker room. If I wasn't commuting between CT and ROC (bike was in CT) I probably would have joined him.
Another option is to ride to a stop near the airport and take the city bus in for the last couple miles. Many have a bike rack on the front. At a big airport the hardest thing will probably be finding somewhere to park your bike.

I am working on getting a small folding bike that will be able to travel as luggage, so the potential for riding to the airport greatly increases. However I usually stay at hotels that have van service so I have that angle covered as long as I fly out of my local airport.
