no hands book

i finished the schwinn book. fascinating reading. there was, for me, a bit too much about the money issues and money confuses me. i know they are germane to the story. not near enough pics, and most of THEM were of schwinn family members. would have preferred to see more bikes. one thing that i either missed (doubt it) or wasn't covered was whether any of the employees or family rode their products. it is strange, apparently they all considered bikes as a) just a product to make well and sell and b) not to be taken seriously as a form of transportation for all ages. they did have famous people promote the products- captain kangaroo comes to mind. the book covers up to ~1996.
