So /k/, in a real SHTF scenario, what body type would be best? I'm talking about a collapse of civilisation, not any ridiculous zombie shit.

Skinny guys: don't need much energy, but don't have a lot of reserves either.
Fat guys: Can survive some time without food, but can't run for shit.
Very muscled guys: strong, mostly fit, but need a lot of calories a day.

Opinions?

No shit sherlock, but being on a bike is a very vulnerable position. You will only achieve those speeds consistently on a road, and being on roads can be a potentially fatal venture, not to mention that sometimes the fastest way to a place would be through the woods, and not on a road.

Also, I can run 100 meters in around 15 seconds, which, oddly enough, converts to around 15 mph. If I Was extremely motivated, I could probably keep that up for around 200 meters. You've never had to outrun someone on a bike, have you? I have. It's harder than it sounds. Especially if they can throw shit at you.

And I didn't mean most people, I meant most fat people.

Being on a bike is no vulnerable than being on foot.

Congratulations on speculating you can do a 200 meter dash at the same speed you've done a 100 meter dash (you can't).

Also congratulations on speculating you can run at a full sprint while carrying something to throw, and being able to throw it at a target that is moving away from you, which may or may not be moving in a straight line.

I'd bet you are so incredibly full of shit that you don't own the Mossberg, and couldn't run 100 meters in 20 seconds, never mind 15, and you sure as shit couldn't hit a man sized target that was getting away from you. Never mind doing it at a full sprint, having started from a standing position.

So keep telling people how you're going to run down someone on a bike without them using whatever weapon you think you're going to use on them against you. And how you're going to carry something heavy enough to stop someone on a bike, while you sprint at full speed.

Caucasian.

In case you didn't notice, don't take the breadcrumb thing literally, but yeah, I don't need much food.

You're all wrong. You won't know until you try. They guys who have never been in combat who speculate that they'd be bad asses can turn out to be the biggest chickenshits.
Also, don't you think the guy on the bike is the smarter one for even getting a bike during an apocalypse? Don't you think the smart guy on the bike would be chasing your bikeless fatass instead?

Body type isn't all that important, as long as you aren't either so fat it hinders your mobility, or so thin you're on the brink of starvation.

Your chances in a post apocalyptic situation depend much more on your knowledge and preparation than on your physical condition. If you're trying to prepare for SHTF, you should focus on marksmanship, survival skills, and stockpiling supplies.
