From what I can see- providing the weather calms down-I would keep those bikes for a few weeks. For a few days roads will be impassable to cars and a bike would seem to be the only form of transport except walking.
Next time you retire- give us better warning.
You seem to have upset the gods by stopping work and they doing everything possible to stop that last Commute home from work. Never mind-- you can do it next week instead.
