The Walking Dead....why no bikes?

[wonderturtle]

They spend days and weeks walking down roads but wouldnt they get where they need to go a lot faster if they were on wheels? No walker is gonna catch 'em!

clearly, this is the biggest hole in the plot

noisy bb30 bottom brackets....

Bikes are boring cause there's no innovation, the apocalypse is soooo over 27+!

Also why don't they spend any time clearing downed trees off the roads? BS!

All the bikers died off from infected saddle sores

 

[rlb]

All the carbon fiber broke during the first winter

Because Shane was really Lance Armstrong

 

[jackx]

Because your frame might crack.

Maybe the writers thought that bikes would introduce too much friction within the group - i.e. Who gets to ride the fat bike ?

Apparently they wrote it in but it turned into an episode about KOM poaching so it got cut.

Silly me figured that would end after the apocalypse

Apparently someone set up a mirrored strava server hack in Alexandria. Solar panels!

 

[Mumonkan]

yet all the post apocalypse movies theyre riding motorcycles. what the shit?

 

[rlb]

Anyone else wondering when they're going to run out of gas? They've got to be 3-4 years in by now. And Darryl wasted a whole tanker full....

You know how to bite a dick Eugene. I mean that with the utmost respect.

I don't know man. I'm thinking either Glenn or Daryl are the ones who got face raped by Lucille.

Maybe Carol will save their asses again...???

On a different note, thoughts on 'Fear The Walking Dead?'

My money is on Aaron, I don't think it's gonna be a main character. Kind of like when they send the ships geologist down with the captain on Star Trek, you know who's gonna die.

Fear is solid, I'm liking how that is turning out.

solid logic there - they have no commitment to him, so he can not be used as leverage, only as an example.

i don't watch Fear, but the talking dead makes me laugh.

i'm watching The League on nflix with my 13yo - i'm a bad father. it is hysterical, and he misses half of it.
(it was his find) - i think he gets some of the dick jokes tho.

I think it's gonna be Carl all the way to the end. He did have a close call, but he's pretty smart and tough. I mean come on, kid ate a gallon of pudding without throwing it up. That's a tough kid there.
