Build lots of infantry - recon bikes are really bad against infantry. 
Any infantry will do but grenadeers are best.

Build AGTs (advanced guard towers)

Well, depends...do you want to blow up the tanks, or do you want
to keep them out of your base?   In case you haven't noticed,
stealth tanks are one of the most lightly armored units in the game.
A medium tank can easily take one out, two with some trouble, and
*maybe* three...and of course, more tanks just help.  Mammoths
are ALWAYS a wonderful thing to have, and their worth their weight
in tiberium in a scrap.
 
Now, keeping them out of your base is harder, but the easy way out is
to build walls...if an AGT (Advanced Guard Tower) is in range, there's
no way he's going to decloak a tank just to blow up a piece of wall
to sneak in through.  If you don't like the price or constrictiveness
of walls, then station an AGT (or 2, or 3, or 10) at strategic locations,
so your entire base (and then some) is covered by them...then just build
a perimeter.  A guard tower/AGT every other square is 100% stealth tank
proof (if a ST [stealth tank] drives next to a unit/tower it WILL be seen)
but is prohibitively expensive (will help against those recon bikes you
seem to be having a headache about).  What I prefer to do is to have
some AGTs around my base perimeter, and then station a minigunner at
every other square around it.  Or, preferably, seal off choke points with
a med. tank and some MLRS' (or silo/sandbag out there and build AGTs there).
 
Now, for those recon bikes.  If your opponent has as many as you're implying,
then you haven't remembered this yet: RECON BIKES CAN BE CRUSHED!
And APCs are just the vehicle to crush them...very fast for their weight.
When he sends in a pack of bikes, get your apc out and smash your way through
the thickest part of them...in a dense mass, or near a choke point, you can
get a lot of recon bikes before he can do anything about it, and the rest
are that much easier for you to pick off....
