motor cycle despatch rider/motor cycle orderly
I looked at your source -- it's a military context. It's pretty obvious that it's a motor cycle involved here, not a bicycle -- it's unlikely a human-powered despatch rider would be on more than two wheels or have a trailer attached.
The first reference link is for Google results for "motor cycle despatch rider"; the second is "motor cycle orderly". I favor the first. The example sentence is from the military context and is among the results at the first link.

: In light of Diarmuid's presentation of no less than photographic evidence, I'm inclined to think he might be right here.
