Dear Saad
Autumn is not rainy season in Czech. The rainiest month is July. It is 100mm the average atmospheric precipitation level that time. We were there in May when the level was 80mm and we had three rainy days for two weeks. Thus, 40 mm, as I wrote, means many good sunny days in October. Nevertheless, I think that you have to be prepared for rainy weather because it is not summer already. I would have reliable (not membrane) rain gear and gumboots with me. You may buy all this in Czech also.
I thought about your possible route and I think it is good idea to ride from Prague to Bratislava for two weeks or in back direction. If the distance is too long, you may go some part by suburb train. Some of these trains have special carriages for bikes transportation. They are marked in time-bill and have a special sign. It is impossible to go by bus with bike in Czech even if the bike is disassembled.
I have sent you a map with the most popular bike routes in Czech by e-mail.
