Dallas-Fort Worth International is a HUGE place - larger than the island of Manhattan. 4 major terminals with another one to open soon (2005). Each terminal is served by 2 shuttle services - one for "inside security" and one for "outside security".

I won't say it's IMPOSSIBLE to ride your bike to/from DFW, but it's certainly a challenge. Reason - the entrances to the airline terminals are only connected to major freeways.

There are regular streets that reach/serve DFW, and you could conceivably carry your bike over the grassy medians / retaining walls / bushes to get to the terminals that way. I haven't ever tried and frankly I don't recommend it.

If you arrive at DFW with bike, I'd suggest using a van service such as Super Shuttle (find them at the upper-level taxi stands) to take you to a better off-airport starting point.

To get your bike TO DFW, again you could call Super Shuttle or a taxi, or possibly hitch a ride from one of the many neaby hotels that have free airport shuttle busses.
