My husband and I are hoping to walk/bike the Camino de Santiago next May. Having never been there I wanted to know if anyone had combined the trail with walking and biking? If so, what is a good company to use to hire the bikes from? And what is your suggested route? Thanks

Key thing to keep in mind is not to overdo it - which applies to both walking and cycling. If you are starting from SJPP, then its a tough first day.
The Burgos to Leon section (meseta) is flatter and less busy. Ideal cycling section.
Sarria onwards to Santiago is very busy with walkers and you'll need to keep off their path, if only to make sensible progress.
If you intend to stay in Albergues, some make the cycling Bicigrinos wait before they can book a bed/room to give the walkers an equal chance at accommodation.
Here is a gps track to give you an idea of the climbs along the way. Nothing too difficult in reality.
