Cavalry send out scouts which actually dismount from time to time and creep up on foot to look over hilltops, around buildings, etc.
They also generally have better mobility than bikes and therefore can move quicker off road. Sure the average person can ride a bike, but how many can manage it where there aren't paths, especially with the basic sort of bikes likely to be in production post nuke? Both though have their strengths and weaknesses compared to the other.

And it's worth remembering that cavalry is typically trained in reconnaissance techniques so that rather then being purely a light skirmishing force, they are also information gatherers.
They train to be stealthier than the typical infantry unit so that they can not only get in and collect that intel, but get away with it without getting into a fight.

Yes, "modern" cavalry are far from the shock troops of the 19th Century and before.
Sure, they can fight, but that's not their true role. Their combat ability is aimed more at enabling them to disengage and get the hell out of there.
