Recently, I learned that Sweden still had a few bicycle infantry battalions in its OOB into the late 1990s (this is particularly relevant for 4e), and Switzerland disbanded its last major bicycle unit in 2001. Apparently, there's a small but passionate community that collects mil-surp bicycles, and Swedish models are much sought after. A couple of Swedish companies still make civilian versions of the Mk42 military bicycle that dates back to WW2. It's reportedly simple, robust, and reliable.
