I remember I had a Yashica-Mat in Vietnam. Can't remember what happened
to it, but it really didn't hold a candle to a Rollei. For certain
jobs, there was nothing like a 6x6 TLR. But, IMHO riding along on a
bike isn't one of those jobs - any more than it would be for a Graflex.

I have taken a Yashica-Mat (twin lens reflex aka TLR) on my bike. It's
a little awkward because it's big box with corners and it doesn't lay
flat as nicely as a rangefinder, but it's great. I have an
acquaintance who's a filmmaker and excellent photographer, and he was
lamenting that his Rolleiflex broke and he really didn't want to spend
a lot of money to replace or repair it. I recommended the Yashica-Mat
(there's more than one version) as a replacement, and months later he
thanked me for the recommendation. It's not too heavy. Neither is the
Rolleicord. I've never had a Rolleiflex. The Mamiya TLR C330? I think?
was pretty heavy if I recall correctly.

Well, if you want /real/ image quality, it's hard to beat an 8x10

Pretty much, medium format cameras are /heavy.../
