Bikes in the zombie apocalypse

 So we watched The Walking Dead: The Ones that Lived. I got to thinking - why aren't more characters riding bicycles? They don't need fuel, you can have a basket, they are pretty quiet, and yet easy to lift and push if the roads get rough.

Sure, it's not at cool as a motorcycle but you can draw zombies by ringing the bell, or putting cards in the spokes.

Also, why aren't more characters using cell phones? You should be able to charge from the solar chargers if no other source of electricity is available. Even if the networks finally go down, you should still be able to take and look at pictures and videos.

Or did all the cell-distracted characters get cleared out earlier?

Figure Painting Total - May 2024

 I picked up the rest of the Aliens figures from GaleForce 9.  The USCM figures will be tricky with all of the camo, but the aliens and assets should be pretty basic paint jobs.  I placed an order for some more Starship Troopers figures and bugs direct from the new manufacturer.  If it goes well, I may pick up some more but I want to dig out the faction books first to see how the forces break down.
