Well if more people started riding regularly, that would be revolutionary, right?

Good pic of the bike itself. Might help with identifying the bike for the o.p. I have no clue. Interesting subject.

Alas, the Conjunto Escultórico Memorial Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara in Santa Clara, Cuba makes no mention of his bicycle exploits.

It looks to be a Garelli 38cc Mosquito Cyclomoteur Engine. External flywheel. It may have been called a 38A made about 1951? There are a few on ebay and other places.
Now! The bike! I wonder where and who made his bicycle.
Interesting stuff, thanks.

Apparently "before all the political stuff" he was already a psychopath.
In the article “My Cousin, El Che,” Alberto Benegas Lynch Jr. describes how Che Guevara enjoyed torturing animals —a trait common to serial killers. His record of murdering and torturing people is extensive. Researchers have documented 216 victims of Che Guevara in Cuba from 1957 to 1959. Suspicion was all that was needed to end a life. There was no need for trial because he said the Revolution could not stop “to conduct much investigation; it has the obligation to triumph.”
Death, to Guevara, was a necessity for revolution. He had no regard for human life. Today, 50 years after his death, it is important to remember Ernesto Che Guevara as the person he was: a homophobic, racist, mass murderer willing to use any means to achieve his self-declared superior society.

There is a blog entry online about Legnano that was made for a while under license in Argentina. Helpful, great photos.

Stalin had Packard's shipped in for him personally.
