    It's disturbing how such a small channel is so good.

      Im not sure how into the idea youd be but id love to see you do some content on irish history around the 1st and 2nd world war in 30 years we went from a british territory to an independence war to a civil war then to a trade and tarriff war with britain and there were some important moments in there like the easter rising in 1916 that saw dublin in intense fire between revolutionaries and british regulars

    Bosnian Ape Society has a video on bicycle weapon fitting as well as shopping carts and computers.

    Viet-Minh and Viet-Cong would also use bicycles for logistic reasons up until 1970ish

    In Polish Army in 1939 each Infantry Division had a special cyclist company and similarly each Cavalry Bridge had a cyclist squadron, additional platoons (in some cases full squadrons) existing in particular regiments.

    Bikes still used today by the Ukrainians in hit and run tactics. If it works it works.

    Bikes are fun, easy to fix, and good to have if a car is unavailable. They can go off road, up steep hills, down hills, and multiply your traveling speed. They don't need to be fed either. Some can be folded and most are easy to manufacture by military industrial bases. They can also be Rigged with an Electrical battery that charges as you pedal.
    Forget Armored Divisions... We need Bicycle Divisions. LoL

    now i'm for some reason imagining instead of a horse back charge for the battle of pelennor fields its a bicycle charge.
