What, you are likely wondering, does a 20th-Century architect - and a noteworthy one at that - have to do with this bike? Other than the fact that he and Ignaz Schwinn, the founder of the Schwinn Bicycle Company, are both German-born American immigrants, not much. He really has no documented history of being a cyclist, although I am sure that as a boy he dreamt of a shiny new two-wheeler just as much as any other.
"God is in the details". This famous quote by Mies Van De Rohe sums up the next series of photographs of the Schwinn. And so I leave you with some of my favorite details of the bike. Until next time...
