I have rode on base before, but I did it with a front suspension mountain bike and 26x1.75 tires. The fork helped a lot because the roads were so torn up. I didn't like riding on the narrow roads there, but bicycling meant that I would ride about 500 ft to work from the barracks; walking meant walking about 2/3 mi because that stretch of road was fenced on both sides. Only vehicles were allowed to travel judging by the signs explicitly prohibiting pedestrians. The road was too narrow to allow pedestrians and vehicles to use at the same time anyway. That is the reason pretty much everyone in my unit drove to work.

The only issue was that there were no written regulations about bikes in barracks and everyone had their own idea on whether or not I could keep it inside. There were no bike racks anywhere near the barracks.
