You don’t need gas to ride a bike, but in a bad situation how safe is it on a bike? A downed tree, you stop and they grab it and you. I’m not criticizing you I’m just thinking of how easy it would be if some determined people wanted what you had, how they would get it.
I agree. All of it brings risk and challenges. I’m in the thinking out loud stage. And having a bicycle and being able to ride it is better than not having it.
