They showed him in last night's episode with a revolver; saying "I wish I knew what happened to my other gun."

I think Stephen King's The Stand is the only post-apocalyptic scenario where the characters actually realized they could ride bikes, and they eventually become the primary mode of transportation (as they logically would). But they look dopey on camera and there's probably a lot of administrative nonsense involved with putting actors on bikes, so it never happens ever.
My ebike is primed and ready. It'll get me too the mountains to my fall back rereat. Then I just take the wheel off and rig it up into a wind generator.

Yeah I thought about bikes too - but figured that'd be boring.

Sometimes you don't want the warthog to drive, but you jump in the back, clear out the bad guys and hop out again.

There's so many fun things I'd like to try - but I guess the story might get a bit too easy if you wrote things like that in.
This pretty much sounds like how I play GTA IV. I don't think I have even completed a mission in that game. I just go around and jump into vehicles, run over people, crash the vehicle, repeat...

How about.....

Not a lot of protection but the pros outweigh the cons IMO

That looks awesome! The only downside is you'd have to rely on your driver to put you in the right direction vs. a top unit that gives you 360 degrees.

The recoil on that thing is going to mess around with driving.

Just caught up in the show, great episode.

Going to be an interesting end to this season, and I am going to pick up the first volume tonight. I won't stands what I can't stands no more.

Something that just occurred to me about why all the zombies are coming all of a sudden. Maybe it wasn't the 2 gunshots; maybe it was all that hammering that attracted them. They boarded up all the windows and put the lookout platform on the windmill.

It would be somewhat ironic if the zombie attack is happening because they wanted to prepare the house for a zombie attack.

I was thinking about that last night too. Didn't think of your examples but they make sense. I also figured with all the gunfire that has been going on lately, that's bound to attract a horde. We've seen the swamps around the farm a number of times and it was basically empty save for the occasional walker. But after the shootout at the farm and in town, willing to bet that went a long way to attracting them. They haven't really been quiet lately.

What's the over/under on the number of survivors from the farm? I'm betting on 7. Rick, Lori, Carl, T-Dogg, Andrea and Daryl and Glen.

...and the following get the axe; Carol, Hershel and Patricia.
