the available waypoint symbols. There's a difference between user waypoint
symbols and the map-defined POIs (which is what mkgmap can create), and it
seems that Garmin left out any bicycle-related icons from the POI types. As
I mentioned, though, there's always the possibility to create one. I'm not
entirely clear on the details, but I think it involves the use of a TYP file
(maybe that's only for customizing how polylines and polygons look).

So, in short, I think you're out of luck unless you want to create your
own...
