You lot can laugh,but I was on a big exercise where we did use bikes.
We practiced with them on an airfield.You have never seen anything like it, a rope was tied to the back of a landrover and there was 15 men either side of the rope.
Off down the runway we went doing about 40mph which was ok until the landrover turned left at the bottom. The rope obviously did not follow the landrover course but took the "shortcut" across the corner. You have never seen such a pile up in your llfe, that French race didn't have a look in. The other thing was, depending on which side of the rope you were on meant you either had a front brake only or a back brake because you were holding on to the rope with the other hand. Starting and stopping was hillarious. Can't remember what the result of it all was, but it was better than tabbing :D
