The piping wizard seems to be more for linking two points together with a pipe.

I think this would work the best for this problem, with the least amount of time. In inventor, just extrude the square tubes, then just use the "fillet" tool to round them. You can even make fillets where the bikes tubes meet, creating something looking like fillet welds. Then to hollow the tubes out, just use the "shell" tool, set a tube thickness, and it hollows the whole thing out for you. Very easy this way.
