Default The Greatest War Vehicle Ever

"As bicycles had started to replace horses in civilian life they were worried that if they approved the use of bicycles for military purposes that they would replace the cavalry," Kirsh told Fox News. "In the early days, cycle enthusiasts were considered cranks. Soldiers wore the King's uniform and were expected to conduct themselves in a manner that reflected that. Leaning over a bicycle was considered uncouth."
