My exposure to the Amish is limited to one week per year, courtesy of selling my pots at an arts & crafts festival in the Amish country of northern Indiana every summer.

Some of the folks in that community drive the traditional Amish horse and buggy, but more and more are opting for more cutting edge non-motorized transport. A lot of folks ride bicycles, recumbent models included, and many of them are very expensive high-tech models. Many who use horse-drawn transport drive modern steel-constructed carts with automobile-type tires instead of the traditional buggy. Traditional clothing customs are observed in most attire, but there seem to be no rules regarding shoes or women's purses and some folks get pretty outrageous in their choices of those items. And the younger set hangs out in the Burger King parking lot just like we did when I was a teenager. The only difference is that we had cars and they have really nice bicycles.
