escaping la on a bike
Thread started by upstate at 07.29.08 - 10:53 pm

While i've mostly thought of using a bike to escape la taken over by zombies, the earthquake today made me think about how a bike would fair in la in the case of an emergency period. while it could cut through the grid lock quickly, where would you go? and what would be the ideal escape bike? i say cyclocross.

reply


never thought about that... will have to look in my zombie manual.

they're zombies for goodness sake. they can't think. how hard would it be to avoid them. ever see shaun of the dead? just get a blunt object and wack your way through them. and never stop moving. they couldn't possibly go faster than 5mph.

My Hummer, plus a .40 cal Glock, and a 12 gauge will do me just fine.
But, then again, if I'm up in the desert due to either a zombie-outbreak, or earthquake, my stepdads place is an ideal option.

Fenced-off, fruit-trees, water storage, my younger-bro's got a rifle, and the overall, gumption of the rural community of Oak Hills have their shit down pat.

Probably the only place I go where all the neighbors drive down the dirt road, but will stop by and say hi if you're outside.

These cookie-cutter, bedroom towns all over the rest of So Cal are the exact opposite.

No sense-of-community, no knowledge of who even lives next door.
So, if the shit hit the fan, those places would go from sleepy and peaceful, to everyone running around like a damned, lunatic.

Hell, disorder there would make C.R.A.N.K. Mob after an earthquake look like an organized, business meeting!!

Just Mow'em down boys

I just had this discussion awhile ago with a friend of mine(nuclear holocaust/ anarchy as opposed to zombie hoards,but hell they're all the same) and he is of the opinion that I would be better of (living in the desert),but while it is true that I live down the road from a marine base,and have plenty of open space around me,I was of the opinion that he would have it better off(living in a city),think "operation human shield",you don't have to out run the zombies,just gotta out run your neighbors.

Nothing that a P90, or an MP-7 can't handle.

But in reality, I would probably be scuffling with an undead, LEO, and then using the weapons it no longer needs.
Not to mention, blunt-force trauma from a night-stick will take down a walker, just as easily as any firearm.

As far as fuel-prices, combined with a zombie outbreak, it would kind of work two ways.
1)Not as many cars/vehicles on the roads due to most of population being dead or reanimated.
2)Operating a cracking-tower is a bit of a pickle.

Nonetheless, I might also utilize a Peterbilt as an armored, rolling command center.
Towing two, 53' footers in a train configuration, one for supplies/necessities, the other with a ramp-door for ridazz rescue!!

You're talking 'bout the scene where they use the bulldozer to haul that '40 foot end-dump towards the mountains.

Ain't no way a horde of undead's going to tip that over.

"Nothing that a P90, or an MP-7 can't handle. "

I dunno if I were dealing with the undead I would want something a little heavier and to keep them a little further away.

Barret M82A1

OR

This weapon which holds the distance kill record at more than 1.5 miles.

McMillan TAC-50

.50 cal ammunition is pretty damned, heavy you know.
As for the P90 and MP7, ammo for those weapons is relatively rare.
That's why I would just go with something where ammo is either easy to find, or easy to make.

Hence the choice of a .40 Cal Glock, and any given 12 gauge.

Not to mention that these wouldn't be too cumbersome to carry on a bike.

A 26 mtb.

Why? because it's the most common. When your 700c wheel flats out and you're struggling with tire levers and you can't find a tube for that just anywhere, the zombies will eat you. And you'll look dumb with your beard and tats and little bike hat festering in the sun. One can canibalize parts for low end mtb's from all kinds of bikes while a cyclocross bike is niche.

Try being smarter than a zombie next time.

i believe the best way to deal with the undead is to just ignore them. or kill them with love, they hate that.

I've thought about hitting the trails I know in the Santa Monicas with my mountain bike as an escape route. But what's the point, there's nowhere to escape to.

Maybe I'd just hike up there with backpacking gear and hide out in one of the canyons. But not sure what I'd do for water up there. Most canyons are dry. The mountains might still be a good place to escape earthquate / apocolyptic madness if you could work out the water situation.

I also think a pump 12 gauge would be a smart weapon because it's probably the round you'd be most likely to find if foraging in a post apocolyptic world. That or maybe 9 mm.

The Zombies and Brraaainns ride.

all the Brains start out and eventually find the small group of Zombies (ala the Warriors ride) until everyone is eventually a Zombie!

it would be cooler if it was a checkpoint race where after a certain amount of survivors made it, everybody else was a zombie. at each check point the number of survivors would decrease and zombies increase.

either that or a freefor all

okay going back to the check point race idea, what if:

in the beginning of the race there are a bunch of survivors and a few people picked as zombies picked at random. if the zombies beat you to the check point you become a zombie in the next round. zombies work together get more in their group until its just one survivor. I think this could be a cool ride idea. any ideas?
