Re: [RBW] Re: Homer goes to Amish country.
According the the interwebs the use of bicycles by the Amish vary according to Geography. They are not permitted in Lancaster County but are permitted in other areas. *The PA Amish church placed a taboo on the bicycle in order to keep youth close to home. However, non-motorized scooters are viewed as a compromise between walking and the bicycle, and many youth ride them to school.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I always love your ride reports -- grand long adventure! We need more Sabbath in more lives and laundry hanging on Saturdays to make it happen. Thank you for the vicarious bonk, recovery and perseverance!

Saturday is laundry day in Lancaster county. Riding through miles of farmland, we see clothes hanging from lines stretched between homes and barns or sheds. Lots of black, single color, simple clothes snapping and whipping in the cold steady wind. They remind me of Tibetan prayer flags. Beautiful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
