In this case, the bishop has decided that bicycles are too technologically advanced, require too little effort, and that the riders travel too far too fast on them.
Therefore, bicycles are forbidden, while these scooters may be used.

I can't imagine their lifestyle, but I'm envious of its simplicity. Super shot, Bill. #10771466

Wow - this is just great, Bill! We live within spitting distance of the 4th largest Amish community in the world (Geauga County, Ohio), and as you explain, their lifestyle is, well, a bit different! #10771607

They ARE wonderful people, but kinda glad I'm not one! This is a super capture and see you also observe not showing their face as they don't like that because it is the window to their soul!

I also hope we see this again, it is SPECIAL as are you Bill

First off, what a great shot! You have captured a slice of life for these folks. I did not know all those facts, so it was a learning experience as well as enjoyment of a great picture! Into my favs... #10771810

The Amish simplicity contrasts with the complexity of our fast paced and technical world. This is an amazing capture Bill and thanks for the info. #10771927

Mitch Spence level-classic July 18, 2013

Well, thanks, Bill, for the explanation. I thought a previous image was of a bike with really small wheels, and now I see what's going on. Ah, those flags are necessary to warn motorists I see. Strange juxtaposition of cultures and probably difficulties arise all the time. #10772099

Carol Quina level-classic July 18, 2013

Excellent storytelling image and information. Great comp & colors. I love the fog in the background! Always been fascinated by the Amish - someday I'll get to Amish country! #10772102

Great info to go along with this exceptional story-telling capture, Bill. Good luck, my friend.
I respect their religion and parts of their lifestyle, however, don't think I could be a practicing member.Hope you have a winner here.
