Cycling and America. Ironic?
I'm relatively new to cycling but I've noticed something and I could be wrong and please educate me if I am. Cycling in America isn't nearly as popular as it is in places like China, Brazil, Amsterdam, etc...
But aren't most of the big name brands American companies:
Cannondale owned by Pacific Cycles
Trek
Ibis
Specialized
Giant
Surly
Jamis
Kona
Breezer
Salsa
Just seems like all the bikes in the various Tours and all the "best" bike are USA based brands while the rest of the world really utilizes them much more.
