Just wondered if this statement (from a thread in WWII forum) holds true for (motor)bicycles and cavalry in MBT?

If so there are quite a few units that need a size increase:
Sudan - #614 Horses (used for "transport" of Janjaweed)
Saudi - #572 Camel Transport
China - #357 Cavalry Transport
for example (not a comprehensive list)
