I'd say it's straight Freight Handling (though an optional Speciality would also be appropriate).

Just how much can you carry on a TL 8 bike?

As someone who has loaded up the ole bicycle and gone a trippin....
I'd treat it as a two wheeled cart.

Could it be a plausible alternative to horses and the like in AtE settings? Could you expect bicycles to be relatively common in a realistic AtE setting?

A tentative yes. Depends on your apocalypse. But even then horses have an advantage of eating grasses and not
requiring any tech beyond TL 0 to use or care for*. So while you could replace horses, a lot of communities (again depending on the apoc) won;t be likely to.
An apocalypse that left cities and roads largely intact? Oh hecks yeah!
* Yes, yes I know, the better your tech, the better the horse's health and safety.
