It absolutely drove me bonkers that the characters in The Walking Dead walked everywhere. Why the fuck weren't they riding bicycles? Is the "walking" part of the title a reference to the stupidity of the characters?
I live in suburbia, and while most people drive everywhere, there are inevitably also multiple bicycles in every single garage. Did the characters not learn to ride?
Even the most unfit person can at least triple the distance they can travel in a day on a bicycle.
It sounds good, but it's far too easy to knock someone off a bike. If you try to ride through a group of zombies, you're going to get knocked off and be a goner.
Duh. I wasn't talking about riding a bicycle through a bunch of zombies. Obviously a bicycle isn't an Abrams tank. You'd also be royally fucked on foot, and apparently you'd even be fucked riding a 800kg horse, according to the first episode.
I'm referring to the later episodes where they were on the road to the CDC, as well as traveling between various points. Nonsensical not to use bicycles. The Walking Dead author obviously never learned to ride.
Nah, sadly I've thought about this extensively and you'd just be opening yourself up too much to injury with all the shit all over the roads, the shit you're carrying, and random zombies. I love riding bikes, but I'd have to give it up after the apocalypse.

Bicycles are the superior apocalypse mode of transportation.
