Which is why Germany never invaded Switzerland.
It was the Swiss Army Anti-tank Bicycle that saved 'em!

Looks like the sort of steed I need for a ride after a night out eating vindaloos and swilling Old Peculier to keep the fumes out of nasal range of following cyclists.

If you attached a lighted match to the end of that you'd have the world's first rocket bike! It might be best to point it up in the air though so that you don't become airborne...

The Chinese didn't get where they are today by not riding bicycles.

After the Communists led by Mao Zedong came to power in 1949, the bicycle industry was revived. In April 1949, Chairman Mao's heir apparent, vice president Liu Shaoqi paid a visit to the factory and commanded that it become the first bicycle manufacturer in New China.
Their workers were aimed to build a generation of strong, durable, light and beautiful bicycle for New China.

On July 5th, 1950, the first Flying Pigeon bicycle was produced. It was the brainchild of a worker named Huo Baoji. He based his classic model on the 1932 English Raleigh roadster.

So Raleigh are the inspiration underpinning modern day China.

The classic Flying Pigeon bicycle is the PA-02, a single-speed with 28-inch wheels, mudguards(fenders), a fully enclosed chain case, a rear rack and rod-actuated brakes. The typically available color is black. However other colors are available, such dark green, which is used by China Post; red, which is used by Chinese municipal fire departments; and yellow, orange and blue, which are used by various businesses. Most models are pinstriped.

I'd like one of those. Pin-striped of course.
