Article on how some volunteers got on their bikes to deliver supplies:

"Bicycles are part of all this. In the early days after the storm, when the trains and buses stopped running, bikes were one of the few reliable ways of moving people, objects, and information around streets choked with debris. They don’t require the gasoline that people are still lining up for hours to get. They don’t need to be charged up – just add some basic food to a human being, and you can power the legs that turn the cranks."

Was wondering as it didn't show many bikes on the TV clips of commuting the day after.
Looking for petrol relates better to the masses though!
