A. For where I live and what travel my family's lifestyle calls for gas prices don't meaningfully impact my cycling. Gas really has to get into 1970s levels of shortage before it'll make a meaningful impact in my travel costs

B. Where I live the biggest emergencies I'm likely to face are flooding, tornados and snow storms, and a bike would only be helpful if the flood/tornado doesn't directly hit my home but does cause a sustained power outage and disruption. In a snow storm my own two feet are far more effective transport than any wheeled vehicle. If for some reason I needed to evacuate quickly I could see where bikes would more enable that than individual cars but that's not a realistic scenario that I face and likely other specifics would make a bike a less preferable choice of transport
