Hi all -

About 15 members of the Queens NY volunteer committee of Transportation Alternatives recently got an awesome tour of the Worksman Cycles factory in Ozone Park. Here are some pics:

They are the oldest American manufacturer still doing what they do right here in the US of A, and they're the best at what they do, to boot... Most of you know a Worksman when you see one, but for those who are interested or need more info, check 'em out:

They're pretty bullet proof bikes....it's like riding a cross between a Schwinn Cruiser and a Sherman tank!

Wayne and Jeff are great guys who helped me out big time when I had my bicycle recycling program in Syosset, NY. I always wanted to work for them, but both advised that the bike industry wasn't something to get into in the 1990's, when bike sales started to decline.

It's awesome to see that they are busy again. I heard that they've had some really good years since the price of fuel started shooting up!
