I've been in the area several times. Frankly, I prefer the Black Hills area of South Dakota to Yellowstone, but if you're going to be that close, visit both.
And you might want to re-think bikes inside YNP. The Bison herds roam freely, and when they cross the road they don't wait for a crossing guard. Saw a young lady pulled over with a BIG dent in her car door from trying to drive thru the herd. She was talking to a Ranger, but I'm not sure what she thought he could do. The Bison have amazingly hard heads encasing an amazingly small brain.
Just keep reminding yourself that these are all wild animals.
