A couple of things. You should reserve your bike space on the TGV ahead of time. There are a limited number of bikes allowed on those TGVs which do take bikes.
Also, bikes are allowed on the bridge. In fact, I biked across it quite a few years ago. That said, lots of folks would rather not ride across it. There's a free shuttle for bikes from June 18 thru Sept. 9 (in 2019), which might be the bus you were referring to. In any event, here's a link (in French):
