Perhaps you're unaware of the 3rd Reich's extensive use of bicycles to move troops as a compontent of Blitzkrieg? Quite effective in places where you can't count on paved roads.
Then again they were invading France...

Yeah but they also still used Mule trains for transporting supplies.

Funny you should bring that up... apparently our vehicles are, in fact, armoured.

Oh I know they do, I've even ridden in a few early on. However not all their "mounted" soldiers are riding in nice, new equipment.
And for all I said about Canada, I actually DO like the country. I grew up for almost half my childhood there. However I'm getting sick of how everyone paints over all the rough spots to say "we should be like them" when the realities are so much different.
And besides, much of the Canadian military is US equipment we sold at such an insane price it might as well have been given away (15mil for a brand new F-18?... while it costs more like 50).
