Most are filled with plain old air made up of 78%nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other inert gasses. These days many folks are using straight nitrogen because it isn't affected as much as straight air by temperature changes. This results in longer tire life and better gas mileage.
Nitrogen mixed with normal air
F1 teams use Nitrogen to fill the tires because of its low dilatation compared to air, a small dilatation in a F1 tire will result in unbalancing the car.

Yes, you can fill up bike tires at a gas station using the air pump typically found near the fuel pumps.
