Bicycles are notable for needing roads, and slowing down when going up hill, especially when heavily loaded with gear.

On the other hand, they're going to be much easier to find than horses, don't cost much when you're not using them, and AtE often has lots and lots of roads.

Bicycle troops certainly have a role in an AtE setting. I'm not sure that I'd use them to replace horse troops.
