A beautiful vantage point, it's no longer the highest point in Luxembourg. But it's worth a trip.

Accessible from one side with a racing bike. The other side is off-road (doable, but risk of puncture)

Somewhat out of the way and inconspicuous: Luxembourg's highest mountain, the Kneiff. If you like, you can do a tour to Signal de Botrange (highest mountain in Belgium) and then on to Vaalser Berg at Dreiländereck (highest mountain in the Netherlands) and then have climbed the highest peaks of 3 European countries by bike. And all of this in a beautiful bike tour of around 100 km.
