Ya, I know.... using 10-speeds doesn't sound like a good idea to me either. Unless they had silencers on the weapons, then I could see how the bicycles would contribute to the stealthness of their "job".
However, remember what little footage I saw, indicated to me, that the Thompsons lived up in the foothills of LA somewhere. That in mind, it would have been smarter to have parked a van somewhere remote and pull out two dirtbikes. That way, not only did they have faster transportation for leaving the crime scene, but if something went wrong, they would have a better chance of getting away with motorcycles as opposed to 'peddle-power'.
Then again, anyone that's plotting to bump someone off, isn't thinking wise to begin with.
