Historically, there’s a lot of overlap of companies that did bicycles but also guns. It’s basically the same “small scale” metallurgy that makes it work. As I’ve noted too many times before it’s odd that in every apocalyptic scenario nobody ever thinks to use a bicycle, it becomes especially egregious once somehow post apocalyptic gunsmithing enters the mix and still no bicycles. That’s the same skillset!

    Throwing a grenade into this thread in the form of the question of under what apocalyptic conditions would the use of a helmet while riding a bicycle be warranted?

      Running my post apocalyptic town like a construction site. “Visitors must partake in mandatory orientation and follow all PPE and safety regulations or be removed from site.”
