    I was on a bike ride once during down time and came upon a Amish buggy . Couldn't pass for a while because of oncoming traffic . Felt like I was drafting and doing a Nascar maneuver .

    Don't go there; Google - "Flatulence bags for cows."
    They'll require this for their horses next, and blow us all up with the nonsense!!

    I agree, they roll in on there horse and buggy then get on the tow motor load a truck with their product (wood, brick and such) on a truck to collect the mighty dollar, Not to mention the tourist trap gift shops.
    I've seen the horse and buggy tied up outside the ol McD's LOL

    Southern MD around Leonardtown and Mechanicsville, Delaware near the western outskirts of Dover....

    Anyway, do them a favor whenever possible, and give them as much room as you can. That way the chance of spooking his horse is minimized.
