If he KEPT the bike, then he could have flown that, but where did it go? Was it enchanted not only to fly, but to fly by itself? Did he tell it to return home and it did on it's own? Did another wizard fly him out there? It's never said exactly how Hagrid flew.

Suggestions:
(1) Another wizard flew him there.
(2) He rode his umbrella like a broomstick.
(3) He flew ala Mary Poppins.
(4) He has an umbrella stashed in his coat.
(5) There is a spell that the writer of QTTA is unaware of that allows unaided flying.  He was taught this either by himself in the libary, or someone taught it to him.  He might of learned it before 
he was expelled.
(6) There is a magical device sort of like a portkey that gives the user superman flying powers.  This could be for limited duration.

Those are all the ones I can think of at the moment.  I am sure JKR could come up with several others without breaking into a sweat.  :)

Are we all forgetting that Ron and the twins rescued Harry in a flying car that their father enchanted?  If Hagrid used any device to fly, such as the umbrella (most likely, IMO) who says he had to be the one who enchanted it?  The Weasley boys didn't enchant their car.  There's no reason why Dumbledore couldn't have put a nice traveling spell on Hagrid's umbrella for him.  When Hagrid used it, he wouldn't have been doing magic, technically speaking, just as the Weasley boys didn't do magic, their father did.
 
OTOH, Hagrid DID do magic when he gave Dudley the pig's tail....And he didn't get a letter, as far as we know, did he?
