> First off cycling in such a place is utter insanity and is resolved by dedicated cycle lanes and paths. This is infeasible in Amish country, where there are lots of long stretches of straight roads with high speed limits. You’re entirely correct about what the law should be, and at least in PA, that is what the law is. Those of us in Amish country are also used to sharing the road with larger slow-moving vehicles like buggies and farm tractors. I treat a cyclist the same way: follow at a safe distance until I can pass in the opposite lane, like the law says. It’s unfortunate that enough people are failing to do so that as often as not I get a friendly wave, when I eventually pass, for simply being a responsible driver.
