Consider a bicycle as essential survival equipment for disaster preparedness. Most Americans have a bicycle or two in the garage. It's not for everyone, depending on your health, or whether you are injured, but it is an option that may be overlooked in your survival plan.
For active people who are stuck on deciding what may be the best mode of travel in an emergency, why not peddle your way out of a disaster zone to safety? A bicycle does not require fuel, and can traverse a lot of rugged terrain; especially a mountain bike. Walking with a pack is slow going - especially with family and pets, but most children can peddle a bike easier than walking. You don't have to race to safety or to your destination. A comfortable pace will eat up the miles, and be sure to stop frequently to rest.
Distance covered on a bicycle will vary a lot depending upon the terrain, discipline, and the individuals' age, ability, and training. The rate of speed will vary as well as the distance covered, but overall it would seem that if an average adult can walk 1 mile in 15 minutes on flat terrain at a steady pace of 3.2 - 4.0 mph, then a bicycle rider may double that distance.
A few tips for this idea:
1. Make sure each family member has a bicycle to ride.
2. Get a child/baby bike carrier to tow for the little ones.
3. Frequently inspect and maintain all the bicycles on your list. Air up the tires! Check the brakes, chains, & gears! Get comfortable seats for them and baskets to carry water and food.
4. Don't forget to have the helmets ready with the bicycles.
5. Saddlebags are available for bikes.
6. Bicycles are readily available at garage sales, bicycle shops in stores and online.
During an emergency such as a natural disaster, or a terrorist attack, the roads and highways away from the catastrophe may be clogged with automobile traffic. How many times have you been sitting in your idling car at rush hour and the riders on motorcycles and bicycles are passing you by?
It's something to think about. So consider a bicycle as essential survival equipment for disaster preparedness. It eliminates the need for fuel to get where you are going. It will go places that are impassable for a car. It's not for everyone, depending on your health, or whether you are injured, but it is an option that may be overlooked in your survival plan until now.
