I think this video is appropriate for the topic on hand.

Jokes aside, bicycles are a lot less maintenance intensive compared to motorcycles. And there are gas motor kits for bicycles if you really need something more with power. Having it run on ethanol and being more simple than a normal engine would be a plus.

And a side note, can't cork be a replacement for rubber tires? Wouldn't lining the outside of a wooden wheel with cork help?

Also most post-apocalyptic fiction usually go by the rule of cool, and bicycles are not cool.
