What If? We Were Compelled To Follow Our Childhood Dreams of Becoming "Road Warriors" in the Vein of the Mad Max Franchise of Films?

[Carrot of Truth]

When I was a kid I wanted to be known as "The road warrior", Some childhood dreams really don't need to come true.

Joke’s on you, nobody will be able to afford gas for car chases across the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

You don't 'afford' gas in the Mad Max. You steal it.

I figured id I'm going by "The road warrior" I am probably just taking shit rather than paying for it.

 

[Carrot of Truth]

From where?

They had a fuel operation run by slaves in the movies.

 

[Simonbob]

From where?

The film crew.

what I don't get is what happened to the bikes.

A peddle powered bike is still going to work after society collapses.

Everyone forgets about bicycles, Heck for personal transport around a town they'd even beat even a horse.

Can you imagine master-blaster or that other generic big guy from the first movie with the oil well or that big dude with the mask from the last movie on a bike?
Preferably a pink girl's bike with ponie stickers. 😂

I think that we need a thread about post-apocalyptic meme discussion.

@LTR thread for Mad max/MasterBlaster/Fatso from Charlize Theron vehicle movie driving pink MLP bike, pls!

Using Bicycles in a Resource Poor Post-Apocalyptic Setting was the Main Concept behind the Movie Turbo Kid.



It was an excellent film if you are wondering.

I think I tried watching that film awhile back but couldn't get into it for whatever reason. That said Harry Turtledove loves having everyone ride bicycles in his works especially in Worldwar, Its not quite post apocalyptic but aliens invading during WW2 turned most of the US into a nightmare.

I think that most people assume that nuclear war would danage the roads to a degree where bicycle use would be unfeasible.

In any case, Fallout beats Mad Max by orders of magnitude in my book.

Sorry, boomers, but if you aren't exposed to some stuff early enough, but then see some later, homage work that is better, like the later FO games, you stick with that.

Clearly they never took bikes off road. Like even if the roads were fucked up to some degree it still wouldn't be an issue to just get off and push it through the rough patches. Like I doubt even a nuclear exchange would even destroy much beyond cities and I wouldn't wanna be near those anyway.

Dunno, I'd assume that any invading force would want to crater roads and hit major transport junctures.

Bikes aren't something I have seen much in rural areas, myself.

Eh if nukes start flying any invasion will likely end there at that point, If the invading forces somehow survive then they probably start deserting or turn into well armed bandits.
