I've used the tamiya bicycle several times but only once with the soldier from the kit (Switched the kit head for a Hornet one) All have portions of the Aber PE set for the bicycle.
These are pictures with the bicycle. There are further photos in the features section.
From "Poland 1958"
From "Panzer Destruction Class"
The bicycle kit is a good base to start with but really needs the PE set with the spokes to make it look okay. I think it's still the least expensive bike available although it's been several years since I've built one.
Cheers,
Charles
