11 million new bicycles (20" wheels or larger, 15.7 million total)
were sold last year, 13.5 million the year before, 10.2 million the
year before that;

There is no shortage of bicycles in the U.S., especially considering
that at least 1/2 of the population (probably more like 90%) died off
in the first few months of the electropocalypse.

There would be plenty of spare parts laying around and as bikes
would be worth their weight in gold, after 15 years, new bikes and
spare parts would be in production.

Cut strips off the bazillions of car tires and screw them to the
bike wheels.
