Infanteri sepeda



Infanteri sepeda adalah prajurit infanteri yang bermanuver di medan perang menggunakan sepeda militer. Istilah ini berasal dari akhir abad ke-19, ketika "sepeda aman" mulai populer di Eropa, Amerika Serikat, dan Australia. Sepeda banyak dipakai dalam peperangan karena mengurangi kebutuhan akan kuda, bahan bakar, dan perawatan kendaraan. Meskipun penggunaannya telah berkurang selama bertahun-tahun kemudian, hingga kini sepeda terus digunakan oleh tentara non-konvensional seperti milisi.
