As far as horses making a comeback as source of transportation, I think the U.S. is ill equipped to make that change any time soon.
Not enough folks who know how to handle a riding horse or a team and wagon........no place to hitch 'em when you get to town........no livery stables like once existed here.

But here's a thought........I remember my dad (he was in England during the 'Blitz' during WW2.) telling of how EVERYONE rode bycicles over there.
Of course it was wartime and there were fuel shortages , I'm sure,
but he said riding a bike was the preferred way to get around.

If one were near a college town or some other bike friendly place, it would be a good time to establish a 'bike shop.
I think a lot more folks will be using them.........just a thought.
