Mass Combat Help Please!

The Montague Bike (Paratrooper Tactical Mountain Bicycle) entry on wikipedia has a chart with load capacity, range, food, and fuel consumption for various types of troops from infantry to the APC that compares them to bicycle infantry.

It also introduces a few additional wrinkles:

1. An infantrymen can parachute with a bike, especially a folding one. A folding bike can also be folded up and carried over particularly bad terrain.

2. Electric assist provides an interesting possibility in a high tech game.

3. Horses require a lot more food and water than bicycle infantry.

Like most wikipedia stuff there is no source cited, but the numbers look reasonable to me. EDIT- they are from the Montague Web Site here- http://www.militarybikes.com/index.html
