I'd like to add: no, but almost. Here's how you do it:
- Take your bike to the railway station, fold it/disassemble it, and put it into a bag.
- Take the train to Rinkà «-Town Station (ãÂÂãÂÂãÂÂãÂÂã¿ã¦ã³駠), which is just one stop away. Either the Nankai Airport Line (Ã¥ÂÂæµ·éÂÂéÂÂ空港ç·Â) or the JR Kansai Airport Line (JRé¢西空港ç·Â) would work, but be sure not to take the Nankai Limited Express (local or normal express is fine). This will cost you 370 yen.
- From there, you can get to Osaka via Osaka Prefectural Route 204 (大éªåºÂéÂÂ204å·ç·Â). I'm sure there are signs on the road that say "Osaka", so just follow that. Remember to cycle on the left.
As it is a normal prefectural route, so bicycles should be allowed. There might even be a bicycle lane. But, in any case, sharing the lane with cars is OK. Just remember not to go on to the expressways.
But of course, if your goal is just to get your bike to downtown Osaka, and you do not really mind paying a bit more, your best choice is probably to just take the train.

No. You can't cycle on the Hanshin Expressway, or the Kansai Kuko Highway.
