Biking in Amish Country (Lancaster County)

Here's some info about cycling in Lancaster County, thanks to 2 local innkeepers. I've visited this area and can attest personally to it as a great place for cycling. Thanks to the large population of Amish and their delighful, horse drawn carriages, drivers are very courteous to cyclists on the local roads & byways.

From the AppleBinInn
"Biking in Lancaster County is a great experience, as many of our B&B guests can confirm. There is a wide variety of things to see and do, and the trails are generally either flat or gently rolling, with few steep climbs. And the wide shoulders (designed to accommodate the thousands of Amish buggies in the county) are very bicycle-friendly."

"LancasterCountyHeritage.com offers biking routes around Lancaster County. The link near the bottom of that page opens a wonderful, printable, pdf file showing bike trail details for the county."

From the Artist's Inn and Gallery
"There are lots of great bike rides close to us. The tour of the covered bridges is Sunday - it goes right by our inn (and) there are three levels. Many other rides featured on this site. Also, Vermont Bike Rides sponsors several rides through our area."
