        I've found 2 uses for bikes...

1) Sit on an objective
2) Try to make them targets so the enemy shoots at them instead of
your important units. (Charging a unit of Thunderers the turn a unit
is exposed would be a good example of this)

        Trying to do anything with them just gets you disappointed.
They're your cheapest troop, use them like the fodder they are.

        Right, but I think you start having mobility problems unless
you hide them all in Wave Serpents. 90cm is nice, but not *that*
nice. I still fully expect to have to move a good bit in order to get
in range of the enemy.
