From Cincinnati, my recommendation would be to take I74 to Davenport/Moline to pick up I80 all the way to Rawlins, WY then route 287 through Lander to route 26 over the Togowtee Pass into Grand Teton. Between DuBois and the top of the pass is a gradual climb and the descent isn't bad either. Use lower gears to control speed going down to save your brakes. I90 is much further north and would be a better return route when starting from Yellowstone, which also makes the trip a nice loop.
Do a Google search for "Jackson, WY car rental". There are a number of rental places in town and also at the Jackson Hole Airport.
There is a bike trail in Grand Teton that starts at the south end of the Park and goes at least as far as Jenny Lake. I don't recall any bike trails around Colter Bay. No bike trails that I can recall in Yellowstone. IMO leave the bikes at home as the distances are large and you indicated that you don't have a lot of time.
Verizon works in the Old Faithful area and at Mammoth Hot Springs. We have also obtained a good signal at the Pumice Point turnout along Yellowstone Lake.
