The film
A WILD RIDE THROUGH AMERICAN CULTURE, CHILDHOOD AND CYCLING.
NO HANDS: The Wild Ride of the Schwinn Bicycle Company is a nostalgic, mystery-driven sprint through more than a century of Americana. Narrated by Lance Armstrong, the film begins with the extraordinary rise and fall of Schwinn, then opens into a much larger story about childhood freedom, family ambition, American manufacturing, pop culture and the evolution of cycling itself.
From the Sting-Ray and the American bike boom to BMX, mountain biking and the unforgettable freedom of a first bicycle, NO HANDS explores the ways Schwinn both shaped and responded to American life. Told through the Schwinn family, industry leaders, historians, collectors and cycling pioneers, it is part business mystery, part family saga and ultimately a story about how bicycles changed the way generations moved, played and imagined freedom.
Everything that these bicycles represent has to do with Americana.
