Scrapr ★ Posted July 18, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 18, 2016 Couple them wimmen did not put a foot down when they stopped on their bikes. I'd like to see some turn signals on those horses too. Also did not see any fancy Amish Heaters. Did they sell all of them that they brought? Seem to mix with traffic good. You sure won't see another Kalamazoo drunken carnage at buggy speed How are they to live around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted July 18, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2016 Those are some high tech Amish. My Amish neighbors don't have bicycles or tractors but they are great neighbors. Here is a picture I took on Saturday of one of our Amish rigs parked at Aldis, stocking up on groceries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted July 18, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 18, 2016 Interesting, thanks for sharing. Horses are well trained, as they did not seemed bothered by the traffic or loud mufflers. Yes, a few of the ladies, rolled right on through the intersection, without stopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan ★ Posted July 18, 2016 Share #5 Posted July 18, 2016 I grew up in Old Order Mennonite country, so horse and buggy traffic is nothing new to me. Heck, I'm only one generation removed from them on my dad's side, 2 generation on my mother's side. I have second cousins that commute by horse and buggy.

Nate Posted July 18, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 18, 2016 I see this all the time. Those are Ohio Amish. They can't hold a candle to Lancaster County Amish notice all the horseshit in the road? this is why I love York County over Lancaster County. I rode the Covered Bridge Tour one year over in Lancaster. Its on a Sunday afternoon in Amish country which means that every single Amish family in the region rode the wagon to Sunday Meeting and is on their way home. Roads full of horseshit, 4,000 pairs of bicycle wheels and it rained for 3 hours. What's not to like? Just wipe off your water bottle before you take a pull, if you know what I mean Anyway, to you guys that's "quaint". To me, that's what PA is like, only we do it better with less electricity and more scrapple BTW, on the Covered Bridge Tour, there would be sections where you would find the Mennonite or Amish girls on their bikes riding along with the people riding the event. It is very much like what I have heard about Holland. They ride a tall gear with a low cadence in platform pedals and plain shoes at the country store I go to with Rich, there's a lot of bicycles with trailers, like in the video, but also they use the big basket on the rear like panniers a lot. don't forget that right before cars, there was the bicycle. for about 20 years, the bike was the height of human transportation technology. The Wright Brothers were what again? ...that's right...bicycle mechanics and that's a horse on a bicycle if I ever saw one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_photog ★ Posted July 21, 2016 Share #8 Posted July 21, 2016 Ohio and Indiana Amish like bikes. PA Amish don't. Here most of the new buggies come with LED lights, turn signals and solar panels on the roof to keep them charged. You still see a lot of old ones without the bright lights and turn signals but more are getting them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to run down US 15 a lot, and I would see lots of them on bikes around Liverpool. They may have been Mennonites, not Amish though come to think of it.
