Not to mention the difficult in decapitating something that isn't standing still and exposing your neck cleanly.
And axe would be a better choice--a good saber or katana would probably be even better.

Do we really need to start on the bike vs. car argument here?
If zombies happen and anyone thinks it's better to have a bike than a car, by all means, they can take the bike and I'll take the car. While MPG is important to think about, it's a side note.
An SUV with a sun roof could be much more practical than a Prius. Being able to have a person shoot and protect the vehicle from the sun roof is a big advantage, while a person is standing there they are almost unreachable. I would not want to have to hang out the side of a car window to shoot zombies, it puts you in grabbing/biting range of the zombies.
Also, is a zombie situation, you're not going to have to worry about the cost of gas and there should be gas readily available. The amount of gas being consumed would fall off sharply as most people would either be dead or zombies.

A bicycle isn't as fast, but it beats walking, you can go almost anywhere you'd be able to get by foot, and it's easy to repair.
Plus you can carry it if you have to. And getting a new one should be quite easy, so ditching it in case of emergency isn't a great loss.

Just don't get bit or I will shoot you.

Except it's a little hard to sleep in.

The mini has very limited storage and if you're surrounded by zombies, you want something that can simply drive over them.

The Cooper is more of a zombie avoidance vehicle, and less likely to get trapped. It also has a sun roof big enough to climb out of in case I do.

I agree with you wholeheartedly! I want my EVIL vampires back! These days all we are getting are Emo's with fangs! I want my vampires to be BAD GUYS not "Misunderstood" guys.
NO MORE WIMPY VAMPIRES PLEASE!

Plus, you never hear about a "vampire apocalypse." You know why? Because they're not a real threat. They fucking die from sunlight and garlic and shit. That doesn't register on my list of threats. I'm more scared of getting rabies from a dog bite.
