I was about to post a picture of a bike with a flamethrower but then I realized this world makes no sense.

So I might as well choose this bike to deal with a zombie horde:

Fixed ( and not one of those hipster coffee shop things)

A Dolan pre cursa is probably the bike equivalent of a Toyota HiLux :lol:

Rim brakes on carbon rims are better because the rims will last forever, and you can make brakepads from cork, wood or tires from crashed cars! ;)

I agree with Juanmoretime - a fatbike. Infrastructure will be failing badly (especially as it becomes privatized and funding is reduced, after all there's no one feeding the funds since either you're exempt from tax because it's beneath your wealth or you are simply too poor to afford to pay taxes). Plus zombies make terrible roads: they will be slow, body parts don't bode well for a consistent asphalt mix.

Get a fatbike, possibly slick tires while you're at it, like Schwalbe Big Apples. That said, stock up now before international trading gets to be a problem. Zombies have very poor delivery rates IF they can even get past their trade negotiations.

Lovely bike and named perfectly for the apocalypse.
Pretty unique low gear there at, what, 42x42? :shock:
Agree on the titanium and mechanical. Eventually our smartphones won't even work.

Dear cycling friends worldwide, please accept my apology on behalf of all decent Americans who don't have small minds filled with hatred and intolerance.

yeah, been having similar shit here (of course in a different scale regarding global repercussions - greets from poland), but I admitt a zombie bike wasn't something that would cross my mind.,,

anyway no matter what bike you got you can still escape all this surreality, even if its only for few hours.

btw, can you imagine, if the sport was free of doping controversies, that Lance might've been a candidate for the white house? I mean - come on wouldn't that be cool?
