We went down to the basement to scope out the bikes and ran across a Worksman bike, also made in USA, marked by a flag sticker on the bar several inches down from the seat.

"Back in 1898, in the back of a retail store in lower Manhattan, Morris Worksman started to develop specialty bicycles and tricycles that would be useful for local merchants to use. He saw a need for conveyances that could take the place of the horse and buggy."
And in case you were wondering, they do make other styles than the three-wheeled model.
In the 10 years we've been seeking out American-made products, we've seen the number of such bikes in stores drop dramatically. It's good to see one company still carrying on.
