RE: [SG, DS] Troops on Bikes???

Exactly!

By the way Scotia makes 6mm motorcycle figures. I picked some up 1 or 2
years ago for forward observers, couriers, etc.

     I went to check out the pictures Adrian talked about and ran into
  some other interesting pictures of Special Troops on Dirt Bikes. Here
is
the
  link for those interested:

Bikes have been very important. The Japanese used them to move rapidly
in
Malay in 1941. Both French and German units used bicycles for some recon
units. And the Viet Cong and NVA moved tons and tons of materiale down
the
Ho
Chi Minh trail on bicycles. They aren't jsut for riding. You can strap
tweo
or three hundred pounds of gear on a bicycle and then walk the bike for
miles
and miles, days and days. For a low tech army, they can be a godsend.
