I suppose the technically correct term would be reinforced concrete bike

I would say "I covered a bike in concrete" would be the most accurate title.

to be fair, large amounts of the frame are not just merely covered in concrete

Yes, and the entire thing is either reinforced with rebar or structurally dependent on actual bicycle parts. You could argue that the rebar reinforcements, if welded together, would make a sufficient frame and the concrete is primarily acting as a bonding agent.
