Of course we still make bicycles in the US, but no longer on the scale shown in the video. I wonder which US maker produces the most bicycle frames? Waterford was my first guess, but Trek claims they make more here than anyone. I had assumed Trek was making everything overseas, but they must make their high-end carbon bikes here. Cannondale would have been in the mix, but we know they stopped making frames here in 2010 (moving all production to Taiwan). Let’s not forget Worksman! I don’t think of them every day, but I was glad to come across this. Four generations of manufacturing bicycles (and other wonderful things) in NY!
I wonder if we will ever see another huge factory churning out bicycles by the thousands here?
