I don't know the origin of the name either, but I thought I read, maybe on mountainproject.com, that the cursing was over the nasty loose slopes below the wall or maybe on the hike down from the top.
The "on a bicycle" part is just part of the standard swearing idiom, perhaps a slight euphemism for the even better (i.e. more sacreligious) "on a stick", and likely has no more to do with bicycles being involved in the FA than with Jesus H. himself belaying the climber or something :).
