- I love post-apocalyptic movies, but I hate how Hollywood ignores bikes as a serious solutions when civilization falls apart.
About me:
I am Jurgen Beneke, a 52 year old Bicycle nut, dog fanatic and recovering raceaholic. Former MTB World Cup winner, X-Games Winner and National Champion. Owner and operator at www.dahanger.co
I see one subject that is not practical in this movie. The government will not seize horses for their own use. The government is controlling the drones. That is more believable.
...or the World Economic Forum is behind the drones on a global scale. I like where this is going.... :)
Why would the government control the drones. The government doesn’t want to move away from fossil fuels.
Yesterday was the 4th of July - We have Democracy. This is a type of government that is by and for the people. Most in government work for the common good. Government leaders are selected by the people. It is not some nefarious independent entity like in Russia.
One of my favorite post-apoc films is Turbo Kid! It is like a goofy, colorful Mad Max on BMX bikes! I always wondered why they don't show more bicycles when people need to stay together and move as one. You don't even need a chain to make a bicycle useful, as long as it rolls it can carry you further just like the old fashioned velocipedes!
I hope this film gets made, it would be wonderful to see bikes shown this way
❤
Oh I just remembered, if you've ever read the book World War Z, not the movie that was trash, or the unabridged audiobook of World War Z... After the Americans withdraw west of the rocky mountains, there's a severe shortage of oil for civilian use... And there's a reference that two of the characters in a flashback talk about how they rode mountain bikes from one city to the next. It's only like one paragraph in the book, it just popped into my mind 🙂.
Oh interesting. Of course Hollywood had to change the bicycle part of the book. Go figure
@@cyclingskills hollywoord changed that whole book
I believe Adrians Undead Diary also approached the idea of bicycle travel. Sadly the WWZ movie stole a bunch of ideas from AUD and destroyed two great works in one shot.
@@PuffinPass I've never heard of this series, thank you.
@@lexington476 Well worth the read if the site is still up.
Obviously there will be sequels!
I've often thought about this myself. In a post-apocalyptic zomvie environment bicycles could easily fill the role of horses and cavalry. Some of the traditional roles of cavalry were pursuit, screening, reconnaissance, rear guard; all of which if you were dealing with zombies would be very helpful done by bicycle to protect survivor settlements.... And of course transportation. Imagine if Walking Dead had a bicycle mounted group 😀.
That’s it. 👍 The only thing is I would be worried that I would get murdered right away because everyone wants my bike s😩
@@cyclingskillswell let's say it's a zombie apocalypse like walking dead, there is an extremely high casualty rate.... There's not going to be very many people around, and then there's going to be millions of bikes in stores and houses and so forth they're going to be easy to come by.
Check out the 25th Infantry Regiment Bicycle Corps Pretty interesting
@@AlaskaMatt i never knew Buffalo Soldiers had a bicycle unit 😎. Thank you.
@@lexington476 I didn't either. I had the opportunity to learn about them on a bicycle tour and went to a museum and they had a big section about them. It was really interesting
Any good bikepacking video or any good cycling video with storytelling on CZcams is a great cycling movie in itself. No need for Hollywood! Such videos/movies are in a league of its own.
Nice touch, Charlie Kelly !
Fuck yeah! A car-free world. People not afraid of crossing the street again, not afraid of dying at anytime at 100kmh, around 42 000 less people dying in car accident each year in the us alone, less illness, less cancer, more fitness, less heart disease, no road rage, no need for parking, more place. The birds.
This would be an awesome world! Great idea!
Puncture patches become world currency standard.
Hahahaha
In one episode of The Walking Dead, Tara suggests using bikes. It was several seasons later when a few of the characters, finding themselves in dire need of transportation after their horses ran off, finally try using bikes. But they didn't get very far before one of them practically tacoed his front wheel and it was never explained how he did it.
And just like that they were back to walking and bikes were never used again.
wow, must have been one of the Dick's Sporting Goods store bikes :) hahaha, thanks for the laugh
Bicycles and solar-powered eVelomobiles would be the ideal vehicle choices for post apocalyptical world imo. Honestly I would watch cozy slow burning post apocalyptic movie with realistic scenario over typical hyper action movies.
I need the road bike version, please.
Fun fact:
* Draisine (proto-bike) was invented after Napoleon wars, due horse shortage.
* Vietkong use bikes to move equipment, because one man can carry up to 100 lbs on bike, that is more than british solder with backpack (about 50lbs), both in jungle.
Yet, nobody ever shows this in any films or movies. Thanks for the feedback
What a great movie, I really enjoyed it. In the next one could I be a stunt man, like eating ice cream in the back ground as the car guy rides by, and I just look at him and then just keep eating the ice cream. I know you could put me in somewhere...
Brilliant in so many ways. I've always considered bikes as the perfect backup. Nothing else offers the same degree of efficient, self-contained mobility.
1000 % brilliant. I love it. I am prepping for the apocalypse using my cargo ebike. So much fun.
Okay, its not Post Apocalyptic, but there is a movie where Bikes take over the transport role. Its called "Americ-a-Thon" About when happens with the world is running out of oil. The problem is, you can grow fuel for Diesel engines. And Electricity can be generated by wind, solar and even a running stream.
7:32 oh you do have to make the car the Smokey and the Bandit car, a 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special Edition 😎.
During World War II a number of nations used bicycles in certin roles. The Japanese basically overran Malaya with bicycle Infantry. It was more of the European and Asian powers that used bicycles, the Americans to my knowledge really never did because we have much more industrialization at the time. But early war in Continental Europe the germans, british, and I believe the Dutch had bicycle units. And of course they were also used by everybody for Messengers as back then radios were unreliable at times and if you were the soviets, basically unavailable 🙂. Yeah one of my other hobbies is military history.
Yes, and Switzerland had a bicycle brigade until 2003.
In this context, I always think of Gino Bartali going through Nazi checkpoints at night, in the mountains, smuggling resistance intel in his seat post.
A short film would have been really a great way to adapt this idea, and see how people actually react to this.
Also what is the music that was playing throughout most of the video?
Yes, would love to make a short version, but even that would require some help (people) time and a little money. The sound track is something from Artlist when you type in “Dune” 😬
Point break but with mountain bikers instead of surfers could be wild.
Never thought about it like this
It's not the bikes fault it's in the middle of the road. There is no shoulder, no bike lane, no bike path. If we had those, we wouldn't be going 20mph in what should be a 25mph residential when cars want to drive 45.
Features 2 rival clans who scavenge and pick clean any available bikes for parts...
SRAM vs Shimano, incompatible in every way, it's war!
Hahahaha 😬
I always knew that hoarding bikes is not crazy
Exactly 👍
California Bikeway Patrol, Riding Doctors (with cameo of @Durianrider), "New Kids" with mad Dutch Cyclocross Riders. So many ideas, Netflix please sent money
Protags in Stranger Things frequently rode their bicycles around.
Yeah, bikes are great for transport. But, they need tires and tubes for one thing. Not to mention if you have a bike with multiple gears, then you need a good chain, a cassette or freewheel. Brake pads. Shift and Brake cables. I am a bicycle mechanic and Even a simply one speed bike with coaster brakes will need at least tires and tubes. And what happens when you Taco a rim, or break a few spokes. So a good bike will last a year with out too much maintenance, but when they need it, they need it. So your better off as a hiker, pulling a small wagon or cart.
_in a post apocalyptic world are BICYCLES the best, when the infrastructure for gas and electric vehicles do not work anymore. ...._
In The Stand the two smartest guys were the two on bikes.
I don’t remember that scene, I am going to have to check that out. Thanks
It's widely known that bicycle tires are very resistant to a nuclear blast. And rolling over all that shredded debris.
There was a zombie movie where they had to use bikes because it was quieter than using a car.
They used bikes in one scene of The Walking dead for about 2 minutes, then they crashed. 😂😂 Like you say "It's a 5 hour walk" 2 by bike ...
I'd like to see a film were ALL oil based products turn to their original plant, petrol, diesel, plastic of all kind. It would be monumental mayhem...
Love it :D just one thing I can't get out of my head: every mammal exhales CO2 with every breath. Good think those drones didn't know about it! Or maybe they'll find out in part 2?
That would be organic CO2, only mechanical produced CO2 is punished by destruction 😬
_so long a car is a vehicle for successfully and rich people, might You're right with the product placement. And bicycles are only ridden by poor or crazy guys ...._
_IF someone makes a film where the main person uses a nice cool bicycle than this will be changing, and some bikes are really nice._
_Steven Speelberg wit E.T. in the 1980s, there are become BMX-Bikes common ..._
In reality, the concept of going after the polluter is not very intelligent. Going after an object that is making energy and using it would be a target. And it may even include charging a vehicle, microwaving or cooking.
This is funny. I absolutely agree that people are so addicted to their cars that's what hey will use during an apocalyptic type event. I have for years thought that if anything like that happens I would immediately ditch the car and grab a bike and get TF outta of the trouble areas. That makes the most sense to me because I will never need gas. Just food and water which will be a whole other issue of it's own.
I'd watch that movie! When seeing videos about "preppers," you never see them stash away a mountain bike which I think would be necessary. That was a very scary band of looters from Mount and Blade! LOL!
TWD used bikes once.
Really fun idea for a movie.
Ha ha, entertaining video- I love the movie pitch
Premium Rush
Not really a post apocalyptic movie, but a great cycling film nevertheless 👍
fynny thing is people who worry about the ensd of the world have not fogotten about the bicycle the but out bicycle is commonly spoken about and built.
This is not a distopian movie......it's more like a fairy tale fantasy! (lol)
The end is for sure. But I am flexible, you never know what the aliens motivation for this action was in the first place 😳
PeeWee Herman passing them on a bike, in every such movie... priceless.
Check out the Emberverse series, starting with "Dies the Fire" features bikes (and horses) heavily. There are entire armies that ride bicycles.
Oh, and there aren't an equal number of douchebags in cars, there's an equal percentage, but more people drive cars, therefor there are more douchebags who drive cars.
Oh, thanks. I’ll check out the Emberverse series. It sounds awesome. The douchebag ratio correction is also highly appreciated. Cheers 🍻
great vid !!~
Your mispronunciation of apocalyptic at the beginning of the video is unusual but hey its not the end of the world, (pun intended).
Haha, i don’t do this full time and if anyone seeks perfection this is not the channel for you 😬 I make hundreds of dollars from CZcams. Thanks for watching, stay tuned for future mistakes 🫣
@@cyclingskills Its a great channel keep up the great work,
Fun!
❤ 🚲
watch "turbo kid"
Apocalypse's Now. Апокалипсис сегодня.
No way.
Can I use a CO2 canister? 😅
lol. why didn't i notice this? an apocalypse world is heaven to cyclist! ahaha :p
nice fantasy lol
Haha
in post-apocalyptic world . a bike is a very very important tool , so everyone will try hard to take it from you !!! on that other hand , bringing a bike along , is just bringing danger along , too !!!!
I don't think biking is thought of in a bad way anymore,. It's all the rage now
