If and when the grid goes down, we may be left with no gas or diesel and then what? Let's discuss bicycles as an alternative. The problem for older people is that some are not in the best of shape. For me, the injury I got when I fell down stairs at the age of twenty makes a bicycle seat a pain in the rear, really!
But there are possibilities! There happen to be many variations on bicycles these days. They can have fat tires. They can have cargo spaces built right in. They can have electronic set ups for charging phones, etc. They be electronic, requiring no pedaling for about an hour. There are some that are not bicycles with two tires, but have three or four tires, but require pedaling to move them.
A friend of mine, a guy who I don't know very well, has an electronic bike. I do know he, like me, is concerned about the state of the world, bugging out, survival. I looked at his bike this morning and could not find any identifying brand on it. He has saddle bags, a place for his phone on the handle bars, lights, and more than I didn't get a good look at. He can pedal it, or let it run itself. I told him that I covet his bike because I do.
It looks similar to this, and this one could go into the back of a vehicle.
