Zombies on Bikes

Plot

Zombieviridae invaded the town of Cambridge. Everyone is infected except for XXX and YYY. They have been biking all night to get away from zombies. They are very tired and try to hide behind a tree. They meet Kunle behind the tree, who tells them that the only reason that they have not been infected is because they bike. Kunle's cargo bike is filled with bikes, which XXX and YYY start giving to zombies. Although confused at first, zombies start riding bikes. As they bike, their bodies return to normal states (i.e. the wind peeling the rotten skin; missing arms growing back).

(Alternative ending: Zombies can't walk very fast but they can actually bike fast and, as a result, they catch the kids. Just kidding.)
