If you list it, keep in mind that bike can mean motorcycle, but bicycle is unambiguous.
If you are concerned that having the time gap on the resume will prevent you from getting an interview, you could state something like: From ___ to ___ was temporarily out of the workforce while bicycle touring ___ miles across the United States.
But listing that may make them think you are some sort of tree hugging nutcase, so it is a tough call on whether or not to list it. I think it depends on the type of occupation and type of employer.
