I served as a military cyclist back in 2001, and we seemed a bit more fit .. and probably had tighter bike and pack discipline. Watching this video, it almost looks like they’re heading to the beach: packs swinging loosely, helmets not properly secured, mismatched uniforms and weapons. Quite an unorthodox-looking unit. No ? haha

I did like the bit about the Dutch doing patrols on bicycle in Afghanistan.
That’s one of the most “on brand” things I have ever read.
