Would likely help with the whole 'sound attracting x kind of post-apocalyptic monsters/raiders' thing, at least a little, too.

And on a bike you'd probably be faster than even the "fast type" zombies on foot. Definitely the slow ones.

  Until they learn to ride bikes. Hey, has that zombie permutation been tried yet?

    They're making zombies that can love and learn, so we're only one movie away from bikes and two from cars. At this point they don't even need the makeup - just show some folks going to work and call it a zombie movie. Come to think of it, that's been done (some French indie award winner dealt pretty heavily with work & family reintegration of the risen.) The genre is thoroughly tapped.

        Shawn of the Dead touches on aspects of the similarities between zombies and workers.

      Semi spoiler: Warm Bodies has a zombie that drives a car.

    A cross between "Premium Rush" and any Zombie flick? I'd go see it.

Although, with everyone else dead, it would be an ideal opportunity to ring the little handlebar bell all the time without worrying about a punch coming from the sidewalk :)

  You could continue to blast full-speed down sidewalks and blow through red lights, so no change there.

    Whoever downvoted this either doesn't know how cyclists actually act in the real world, or does know and doesn't want to admit it.

Bicycling is certainly quiet. When I'm walking and a bicyclist passes me, I generally don't hear them coming until they're past. Likewise when I'm bicycling around a pedestrian, they don't hear me unless I deliberately make noise. I do hear pedestrians.
