Скачать или смотреть The Silent Schwinn Factory: The Tragic Fall of America's Bicycle Empire

At its peak, a single factory in Chicago produced bicycles for one out of every four Americans. Schwinn wasn’t merely a brand—it became a symbol of childhood freedom and American industrial might. From the iconic Sting-Ray and balloon-tire cruisers to an operation that ran three shifts a day and turned out more than a million bikes annually, Schwinn ruled America’s streets for decades. Yet beneath the shine of chrome and confidence, a quiet collapse was already taking shape. In this documentary, we step inside the abandoned Schwinn factory to follow the rise of a German immigrant’s vision, the choices that forged an empire, and the critical mistakes that ultimately led to its downfall. This isn’t just the story of a bicycle company—it’s a story of innovation and pride, labor and globalization, and the missed changes that brought an American manufacturing giant to its knees.
