Seems to me bikes would see lots of use in such a situation. They're far more plentiful than horses and move people far more efficiently than feet.
How many bicycles would still be operational after fifteen years with no replacement parts, no (or very limited) lubrication, no pavement maintainance, etc...
Horses, being living creatures, breed more horses, and serve many additional purposes beyond basic transportation...
