Re: Would you survive?
Would you just happen to have one on hand?
Wait.... Sinful might...
If you can plan a route and can actually keep enough gas on hand/know where to find gas/method of propulsion, that's great, a military vehicle would rock. It'd be a bitch to wash if any zombie blood got on it, though. Can't touch the blood, it's contagious
I'm speaking for those of us who have no access to military-grade transportation, though.
A bicycle is ideal. It's quiet as hell - not totally, but almost - and requires you for propulsion, not gas, or plasma, or some funky energy cell.
As I've said, an actual vehicle (Jeep, car, bus) I can see being used for short hops or for hunting with, but not for long-distance travel.
What it really comes down to, though, is availability. If all you have is a car, fine, use it for as long as you dare, but try to find something better.
Going 'Rambo' on zombies with a car only works for so long, especially with today's cars. That plastic can't compare to a car made in the 70's/80's, when they used METAL for the entire thing still. Take the '85 Monte Carlo SS I have, for example. It's a TANK. Well, almost. Just needs a cannon. That's how sturdy it is.
I never said a car cannot hold it's weight (literally as well as figuratively) in a zombie outbreak. It's just not practical for long periods of time. The gas WILL run out, and it WILL make zombies follow you.
If you must use something that requires fuel, I urge you to find the BIGGEST thing you can, I.E. a Bus, a Semi, a Monster Truck... SOMETHING that will sit you high above the zombies if necessary.
Well a bike is even worst considering you won't go more then 50 miles and you can only like hold minimal amount of supplies
Hence why you should train. If you're not ready for the zombie onslaught, that's your issue
You need to ration out your food. No big meals, maybe just some bread and water for breakfast, and some granola and fruit for dinner.
The point of using the bike isn't to travel great distances in minutes, but to silently evade zombies.
