Battlebike

[andygates]

Elsewhere a discussion has come up about what bike-based weapons you should use in the Zombie Apocalypse.  But they're not cyclists and so suggest things like slings and pistol crossbows.   Miss fail fall crunch braiiiins....

We can do better, can't we?  How would you go tooled up en velo?

Ooh, yes what about a trebuchet?  With shrapnel?

[Valiant]

Kitana bar ends?

[Chris N]

A trike (pref. a delta for stability) with Ben Hur-stylee whirly blades on the axles.

I used my pedals to do that to your wheel once... 

[border-rider]

I had wingnuts on my trike wheels for a while. A very similar effect

Recumbents are quite good anyway - that big sharp chainwheel at the front end

 handlebar mounted flamethrowers in a 45^o angle to the sides

Fear the crosswind!

Chicken 

you can mount them on the carrier facing backwards then
and a grenade launcher on the handlebar.

Exchange the top tube for a shotgun barrell with a trigger on the handlebars

What's wrong with death-ray lasers?

[andygates]

The trailer full of batteries?

[clarion]

Um yeah, but Dinottes would substitute nicely...

The old greasers' weapon of choice, the bicycle chain, would be appropriate. Not 3/32nd though.

Method of use: drop coiled chain to full length, swing, twist through 45 degrees - which converts floppy chain to rigid flail.

My Rear Derailleur of Death works just fine. Regularly cuts through the zombie hoards of Peckham and can open an errant 4x4 like it's a large can of tuna.

[redshift]

Windcheetah with lateral pylons carrying Mossberg 500s or Franchi SPAS 12s or equivalents. Also rocket launchers, just for fun.  Rear rack-mounted flame guns (but you need the special Nomex version seat).  Katana slung over the back of the seat, ready for overarm draw.

It wouldn't go very fast, except downhill, of course.

• Tandem tail gunner.

• Flick blades mounted within the ends of flat bars.

• Nutty (with tools) strapped to bars, business end forward. There's a slim chance he might get one of 'em, before disabling himself.

Sound like a job for the Hummerbike, "tuff enough for the Marine Corps!"

Same same as the "Montague Paratrooper® Tactical Mountain Bike"?:

Hummerbike has for some reason changed name to Swissbike. Go figure!

[clarion]

I have the predecessor of that bike!

[Gus]

Remember to service the flame throwers or it may go wrong

[fuzzy]

A certain Ms Barnes of this parish, sat on the front of my bike after having told the whole Zombie world that she loves to be called Chaz

Cue sound of Fuzzy running for the hills

A bicycle powered chariot would provide a good battle platform for accurate deployment of lowtech missiles!
