No Hands: The Wild Ride of the Schwinn Bicycle Company

Synopsis

Founded in Chicago in 1895, Schwinn grew into an American icon, giving generations of kids their first taste of freedom on two wheels. Narrated by Lance Armstrong, No Hands traces the company’s extraordinary rise, innovations and mysterious collapse while exploring its influence on childhood, BMX, mountain biking and American culture. Through family members, cycling pioneers, collectors and industry leaders, the film reveals a story not simply about a bicycle company, but about memory, family, reinvention and what a first bike came to mean in American life.
