We cannot drill our way out of this oil crisis. Since 2000, oil companies working in the U.S. have doubled the number of wells drilled per year.
Although increased drilling has added new oil to the nation's supply, it has not done so fast enough to offset the terminal decline of existing fields.
We are going to have to import more of our oil. Period.

How far can you get let's say with 5 inches of snow ?
You are better off biking on the sand.
As far as your body can take you. Most people have no concept of what you can do on a bike. Like any art form, bike riding is only limited to your imagination, experience, and physical stamina (equipment can be a limitation, but the technology is simple enough to augment with almost anything). We ride in 2-3 feet of snow for fun here. Just keep telling yourself--"I'm training for the apocalypse."
If you don't get off your ass and put the time in on the bike now, your body won't take you very far during PO. If you are older or have physical problems, there are many alternatives (think augmentations), like tricycles, or dog harness bikes. Or space monkey tractor beams. Or whatever. It's all about the "can do" creative approach.

Poor angry mobs are never any fun, whether their angry white mobs in southern Arkansas or the Rodney King riots in Los Angelas, how about the riots in Detroit? Chicago? America's view of angry mobs, poverty, and racism is very selective. Go to any large city, any direction, and go into the slums. Poverty is poverty. Hopefully, they won't be able to afford the gas to drive to Kunstler's house, mine, or yours.
