Made in the USA

American Made BMX Companies

While many large and well-known BMX companies outsource their manufacturing overseas, there are still great BMX companies in the United States of America. Below you will find a number of bicycle companies, which are American owned and operated, manufacturing their products in the good ol' U.S. of A.

Some folks argue overseas manufacturing can possess equivalent quality to what you get in the United States. They claim a Taiwanese man with 30 years of welding experience is better than a young American punk, fresh out of vocational school. That may be true. But, perceived quality is not the only reason I buy American. I support American workers, because I am a patriotic 6th generation American citizen, living in America. I want our American neighborhoods to be thriving and prosperous communities, inhabited with upstanding men and women, who are gainfully employed, and able to earn a living for themselves and their families. We can all help make that prosperity a reality, by spending our money on products made here in the United States, putting money into the pockets of our fellow hardworking American neighbors.

All citizens should cultivate that attitude toward their motherland.

Do you live in Germany? Support your fellow German citizens, first and foremost.

Do you live in France? Support your fellow French citizens, first and foremost.

Do you live in Australia? Support your fellow Australian citizens, first and foremost.

And so on. And so on... Plain and simple. Support the nation in which you live, live in the nation you support.

Are all of my own personal bicycle frames and parts made in the USA? No. Admittedly, I occasionally purchase some foreign-made items. In fact, sadly, some bicycle parts are only available from foreign nations. But, before I consider buying anything made outside my country, I always endeavor to put my fellow Americans first, by shopping for products made in the United States.
