Bicycle - Bikes in World War II

Time: 1940s

Place: Europe

Details: Although multiple-speed bicycles were widely known by this time, most or all military bicycles used in the Second World War were single-speed. Bicycles were used by paratroopers, the military parachutists, during the war to help them with transportation, creating the term "bomber bikes" to refer to US planes dropping bikes for troops to use.
