I love bikes but I hated that whenever a Cyberdemon shows up, I don’t really have a good way to circle strafe them with my bike while using my plasma rifle.

Skill issue: Hold the handlebars with your left hand, the plasma rifle with your right, and support it on your left arm as you ride in a circle around the Cyberdemon. Just make sure you have enough room to ride in a full circle because you'll look pretty silly if you crash into something.

Is the circling to help with the recoil?

It can if you kinda lean into it, especially with tighter circles but do plasma rifles have recoil?

I'd assume so, plasma still has mass and has to be accelerated somehow.
