Hello,
I recently purchased a Cyclist Ord. 26/40 uniform, along with a cap and bandolier, which led me to the question of what backpack the bicycle troops would wear?
As they would have the three pouches of the bandolier on their back, so the backpack would get in the way?
Or would Cyclist troops wear regular army pouches when wearing backpacks?

Hello,
The cyclists had the wide tornister Ord. 1875/98.
It was not worn when cycling.
They only wore it when entering the service and at the end of the service.
Kind regards
Andy
