It depends on where you’ll be residing for eternity.
I suspect many persons will default to horses until a distrubution system is set up. You know that internal combustion engines can run on CO produced by burning wood. The Russians had a few such vehicles. I suspect that steam fired with wood an/or coal will also appear. And of course because of all the advanced technology before things fall apart - battery power which are recharged by solar cells.
I grew up with horses, as soon as I got my first 10 speed bicycle I realized immediately that bicycles were a far superior form of transportation. My first 10 speed was a 40 lb used Murray; weeks after getting it my 13 year old youthful entusiasm propelled me over 50 miles up to Mt. Raineer and 50 miles back in a day. That bike gave me previously unimaginable freedom.
Post apocalypse... the scarcity and price of fuel will severely limit the use of internal combustion powered vehicles. The possible exception would be people who build or buy gasification units for their vehicles.
I provide the following link only for reference... I have no idea if they are reputable.

Before (and presumably after) our technological society, the vast majority of people never went farther from their home than they could walk in a day.
The conclusion: Make sure you're in a good spot, because after the SHTF you aren't going to be going anywhere.
I think a helmet will be the least of my worries after the apocalypse.

You won’t have to round them up ..... they’ll be hanging around your house with their hand out or scrounging in the garbage for something to eat.
You will need something reliable, that you can fix with the tools and parts at your disposal and a continuing fuel supply that does not rely on infrastructure.
I think a bicycle fits the bill best.
Can a diesel Hummer run on whale oil?
“Zombies?” That fictitious scenario would be easy to live in, because it’s fictitious.
EMP strikes followed by other nuclear strikes from Iran, other Islamic states, North Korea, then China and Russia would be far more likely. Voila: nearly no vehicles running or fuel pumping.
Have fun. Enjoy the slide.
PS My wagon will probably be drawn by yaks. Yaks aren’t very friendly with strangers, but not much else can survive the cold, winds and slim pickins up here.
What a bunch of cr*p this post is.
