Okay I get you although there are some reasons why the russians may have prefered horses
1 A horse can be fed off the land with a cycle you have to carry tools, gas, etc. and as prox said you would need two crew men with a horse you only need one rider
2 With russia's economy the way it was, a horse and one rider would be cheaper than two cyclists and a good cycle
3 With a horse it's much cheaper to equip one rider than it is two cyclists, a mechanic, etc.
4 The oilcan method is much cheaper than anti-tank weapons
5 A horse is very mobile
