Switzerland still has a 3000 man bicycle brigade and in Northern Norway (above Arctic Circle) border patrol troops still use bikes.
I am told US Military owns some cool OD folding mountainbikes. Tricked out with the latest components. There were some for sale by the maker a year or so ago.
That seems a better solution for places an HumVee can't go.
