There's a number of club pages with forums and info.

Bob,
If you've got the room for it, almost anything will work. Bikes have the same problem as any other vehicle as far as noise/interference etc. They can sort of present a problem on the lower bands, they just aren't as 'big' as cars. Certainly doesn't mean you can't do it though, and VHF/UHF shouldn't be any problem.
As far as the headphones/mic thingy goes, it's more a matter of what will fit, both the radio and inside the helmet. The earphone and bone-conduction mic thingy sounds like a good idea to me. No idea about compatibility with any particular radio, so that may only be an 'idea'.
'Course, since you ride a bike, you already know about paying attention to stuff. Adding a two-way radio to that 'stuff' is just a matter of more 'paying' of that attention.
Have fun.
