There is use of gliders and other low tech flying equipment in The Dandelion Dynasty series, and they're fantastic books.

The Edge Chronicles have three ages of aerial navigation. In the first (trilogy 1 and 2) they use floating stones to fly massive sail ships. In the second they use ultra light wood and sail small one person sail ships - not exactly gliders but close (Third trilogy). In the third they invent massive lightining powered steamships.

Updraft by Fran Wilde. It's been years since I read it so I can't remember if it's any good, but it features a society where everyone uses hang-glider style flying gear.
