GREAT idea! I honestly hadn't thought of that angle.
When I was creating my last solo campaign, I went with horses rather than motorcycles because of how the back story to the lead character's development came to me (he grew up on a rural farm and was used to riding horses for both work and leisure, so he added horse-mounted scouts to his unit).
When I run my next in-person campaign, I will certainly ensure that mountain bikes are an option.
