Bicycle corps

Bicycle units played a remarkable role in the Japanese Army during World War II.
I am confident that we will eventually see them as a Rider class at Enlisted.

And Japan was not the only country that used bicycles.
Each country had mechanized (LOL) units that used bicycles as their primary means of transportation.
They saved serious logistics and were active as reconnaissance, surprise, cavalry, and engineering troops because they had faster movement speed than infantry.
