Just a thought, that a lowly bike will be mighty handy to get around with.
I like sex, drugs and automatic weapons. That's why i'm a dues paying member of the Libertarian party. Struggling to keep the government away from messing with the above.
My Wife has her own vice.
Not sure, all the 1st hand accounts I've heard said it doesn't work well: no protection. But you may be able to avoid things that you couldn't otherwise.

Very situation driven.
Can be handy for hanging gear off and using as a pushcart along with the personal transportation
I am an avid bicyclist, I've tried these things.
A bicycle set up with panniers is a great tool for moving stuff from one point to another...if you're walking. If you're riding it would be very easy for 2 people to ambush you, knock you off the bike, kick you unconscious and take your stuff. You're not going to be able to both control the bike and use your handgun for self defense, you must dismount to engage your attacker with a firearm or knife. You can forget about using a long arm from a bicycle, a horse would be easier.
Multi-speed bicycles are noisy, especially bikes with certain brands of hubs. Chains get squeaky if you don't keep them lubricated. Single-speed bicycles would be the best, simpler, quieter but you better be in shape if you've got hills to climb otherwise you're walking.

Nope. Not safe at all.
Currently I'd have to walk home from work and it is 26 miles through the city. A bike would be fantastic and takes hours to days off the trek.

You could get on Craigslist and find a good, older bicycle inexpensively and keep it at the job.Originally Posted by Irving
You should be able to cover that distance in a bout four hours or so.
Crap, even in air assault school I couldn't do 26 miles in 4 hours. Maybe 20 miles, but I was toast after. Though I'm now 12 years (and abut 25 pounds heavier) past when I was able to do that. Though if SHTF while I am at work I have about a 20 mile trip from Lakewood to Aurora.You should be able to cover that distance in a bout four hours or so.
