If you are on Facebook, I highly recommend joining the "American Pilgrims on the Camino (APOC) group. It is a very active forum for those who have done the Camino(s), are currently on the Camino, and those (like me also) who plan to do the Camino. I have picked up terrific advice, and their forum is contagious. It is terrific!
Buen Camino!

This website offers tons of valuable information about the various Camino routes and though walking is the most common, there is info about biking these routes too.

The most commonly used route for the Camino de Santiago is the Camino Frances. Many people bike this route. If you simply google Camino de Santiago by bike you'll find many resources for doing this. The route runs from St. Jean Pied de Port in southern France to Santiago. Many people don't walk/bike the entire thing though. Since you are starting near Madrid I would suggest maybe starting there, following the Camino route from Madrid, and then meet up with the Frances route at Burgos or Leon depending on how far you wish to ride. You'll have lots of company and meet interesting people on this route.
