The pack-bicycle army was a civilian force that used modified bicycles to transport weapons, food, and ammunition for the Dien Bien Phu campaign, making an important contribution to front-line logistics. The pack-bicycles were reinforced to increase their load capacity, capable of carrying hundreds of kilograms, and were used on rugged terrain that motor vehicles could not reach, demonstrating the spirit and determination of the Vietnamese people.
