I think the ol’ Merckx Volvo rig, with your bikes of choice of course, would be a good base of operations for the zombie apocalypse. A sturdy mobile bike workshop would be essential. And I hit at least two big kangaroos in my old 240 with little to no damage. And those engines are famed for 500,000+ kms

So I was maybe a little serious when I asked the original question, I’m considering building the bike in the same way a redneck builds a bomb shelter and wanted opinions on what would be the most practical setup.
Until the zombie apocalypse/asteroid/flooding of the world occurs I’ll use the bike for something like shop runs.

EDIT: with zombie escaping slicks.

post-apocolyptic bike? this, rattle-canned matt black: 
or maybe this?!
Two different tyre and tube sizes? Too many other cargo bike riders to murder and rob.
If I run into the last living woman on this the human race is doomed.

So disgruntled Posties will rule the new world?
