The guys with the horses are from a community called The Kingdom. They ride on horseback and wear armor (of a sort) like from medieval times.

They ride on horseback and wear armor (of a sort) like from medieval times.

Very sensible.

In an time when gasoline is in short supply, horses(if available ) and even hard plastic type armor makes sense. A good broadsword would make quick work of any zombie OR human!

After the group learned noise attracted zombies, Daryl riding a motorcyle didn't made sense.

While easier on the gas, it could be heard miles away and give away your position to both zombies AND humans!

Of course Daryl peddling away from a horde would never look as cool as him charging to the rescue!
