"Many of us think that the bicycle is used only for walking and running, but today it is also used in many useful things. It’s easy to imagine how tired a postman would be to walk all day and carry letters. In the United States and abroad, most postmen now ride bicycles.
Bicycles were also in military service. Not even five years have passed since the introduction of military bicycles; Because they are easy to fold, soldiers can easily carry them on their backs, and if necessary, they can quickly dismount these lifeless horses and leave quickly. Then they added small cannons to the bike; So a soldier can escape at the same time and kill the enemy. What a disgusting thing to do with a simple machine that, who knows, was originally designed to entertain the lazybones!
There is no doubt that military vehicles will be very popular in the army and people will gradually have more opportunities to kill each other! One such horrible car is in this picture here.”
