If you want to be mobile in the event of a disaster, you have to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of different vehicles.
Even the bicycle can be an alternative.
Whether natural disaster or war.
The list of reasons why people flee is long.
Some are well prepared for such scenarios and already have the right vehicle ready.
But which means of transport are suitable and what are their advantages and disadvantages?
In the event of a disaster, for most people, the car is probably the means of escape of choice.
After all, most people rely on it in everyday life.
It also offers space for several people and is therefore particularly suitable for families.
Luggage and supplies can be stowed in the trunk.
However, depending on the model, the space is clearly limited.
Car, motorbike or mobile home.
Every vehicle has its advantages and disadvantages in the event of a disaster.

Mobile in the event of a disaster: advantages and disadvantages of cars and co.
Caravans or mobile homes offer a little more space.
These are particularly well-prepared people, as survival-kompass.de reports.
Compared to the car, the campers have another decisive advantage: they offer significantly more flexibility and a roof over their heads.
Due to the size, mobile homes cannot go everywhere.
You also have to be careful when choosing the location, because parking is not allowed everywhere.

Motorbikes are even more flexible in the event of a disaster.
Traffic jams and busy roads can be easily avoided.
However, in this case you are completely at the mercy of wind and weather.
So a motorcycle is hardly an alternative in winters with snow.
And the lack of storage space can also become a problem.
Mobile in the event of a disaster: bicycles can be an alternative
A disadvantage that cars, mobile homes and motorcycles share is that they are dependent on petrol, diesel or electricity.
In the case of combustion engines, you should therefore arm yourself in advance with sufficient fuel against a possible shortage.
However, you can only store certain amounts at home.
And the amount of diesel and petrol that can be transported on board is also limited.

In this case, the bicycle is a sensible alternative, after all it is only driven by muscle power.
Particularly robust models with stable tires are very well suited for escaping in the event of a disaster.
However, you need to be in good physical condition and, like the motorcycle, the bike offers little storage space.
The latter problem can be solved with a bicycle trailer.
