You can check on the bike branch if you can do that route in five to six weeks.

I have read on this branch that the Sikkim border is only for Chinese and Indians, not for foriegners. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

It would be a lull before rainy season at the end of May and June ...
Yes ,you can transport bike on trains or buses (except those without rack), but you will need have to pay some extra for it.
Happy cycling !

Not possible for you to use the border at Sikkim at all unless you're an Indian or Chinese national.
Yes, you can transport bikes on the trains in China.
Cheers!
