I've never had that in France. Sure, places are full when you turn up on spec and you have to try somewhere else but I've never been turned away because I was on a bike - and that's in decades of travel through the country. France is much more bike friendly than the UK (imho, before someone else chips in to the contrary).
There is some truth in the one baguette and his dog size villages looking like they've been abandoned in the evenings - particularly in the north of France, but I'm not sure it's any better in Belgium or northern Germany. Any decent size town and it's business as usual though. As a rule of thumb (again imho) the "nightlife" gets better as you go further south - although it does depend on exactly what you're looking for
