Look you are going in for mission, not to be train to be world
cycle champion ! You there to go on mission, your main aim is save
your strength for recce and the mission, and not 1/2 dead from
cycling.
You can go 3 to 4 times the distance than by foot on a bicycle -
then ? some one with a motorbike can go also 5-10 times the
distance than you on bicycle and much faster and with more load -
that is common knowledge also !
You can fly in a bicycle then you can fly in a motorbike with full
tank also. If naval and air blockade is so successful then all the
better, at least on a motorbike, you know there is nothing within
miles that can catch you even spotted . If naval and air blockage
is that good , that mean you have control of the field, so what the
problem of flying in even bigger vehicles ! I fly in even a hummer
or landrover !!!
The VC use bicycles ! yes why ? because at that time that the best
they have ! If they have motorbikes , you think they will not have
used them instead ! By the way, you know what happen to the VC,
they crease to exist as a effective combat forces before the war
ended. It was the NVA which finally won the US. By the way NVA also
have tanks, trucks....... if your way of suggestion they should may
as well all use bicycles with cannon mount on top instead !!! I am
sure they won the war with tanks and trucks, as I sure remember
seening footage of NVA tanks & trucks rolling into sagions and
not any VC's bicycles.
In China people are abandoning bicycles as they adopt cars and
motorbikes in their daily lives and that basic transport. Even your
VC in vietnam have take to motorbike and discarded their bicycles,
ask them to fight the war now, it be on motorbikes more !

Sorry to say, it is you who are the one who is straight and
narrow.
