Glad you liked them Frank. This was about the fanciest bike I saw.
These folks lead a different life for sure. They meet every other week
for services but no church they meet in homes. They eschew modern life
but every half dozen families have different rules. Their buggies are
their pride & joy and they trade up like we do cars. The horses are
mostly retired harness racers. It is easy to spot their farms - no
electric wires but some do have phones on the edge of the property in
little outhouses shared by several families & only for emergencies or
business. Off the grid as we say out here in the world.

Impressive gallery! I'm surprised that fellow
was riding a bike with gears. Figured they'd be too modern. ;-) When I
lived in Kitchener (formerly Berlin), Ontario there was a large
Mennonite community there. Not the same as Amish but they do eschew the
modern ways. Their buggies and wagons were near-identical to the ones
you photographed. Looks like beautiful farm country. Thoroughly enjoyed
your photos. Cheers, frank On 12 August, 2014 12:14:59 PM EDT,
