I live just maybe 50 miles from Amish country. We have a fair number of (sorry I don't know the name of the sect) Mennonites who drive cars, etc., but since the Old Order Amish tend to stay close to their own communities, we rarely see the few local Amish outside of their buggies.
So I was a little surprised this summer when I did a bike tour in Amish country, that there were maybe 8-10 Amish who participated - both men and women. The women rode the metric century on heavy upright bikes in their long skirts. Some of the men had moderately high performance road bikes that they rode in their homemade pants and shirts. It was cool to see.
