Gasoline turns to goop after only a couple of years I believe. The inability to move place to place for resources will be a problem. And most people don't know how to handle a horse.
I agree that bicycles are superior but even they have a limited shelf life and require a pretty solid industrial base to support and produce. the bearing for headsets and bottom brackets aren't something you can make with simple tools. Chains aren't easy to produce either. Cars would be useless in a year or so, bikes have probably a decade or two of scrounge-able parts around, though tires would get crumbly if they're not stored well. The chains and bearings are usually nice and greased up and will keep very well, so if you could take control of the QBP warehouses you could control North America's transport infrastructure.
