It is used daily for transportation on a Forward Operating Base in Iraq.
Great bike and less of a target than a HMMVW. More efficient as well.

Pedal Cleats,

Submitted by KenRN on 03/24/2007.

Nope,

They slow me down when I run from the bad guys.

The bike is a great ride here though. The "Local Nationals" (Iraqi Workers) I deal with like the idea that some of us ride instead of using their oil. I let them know that I ride when ever possible at home (winter in Montana precludes that for part of the year.)The HMVVW's are a pig now anyway. They weigh about twice what they were designed for with the armor. They have always been cramped, hard to get in and out of and uncomfortable at best.
