Where are Bikes Made?

@KiwiStoker - That's good to know, but what about the environmental regulation? Carbon and metalworking are both extremely toxic industries.

Yes, I have to agree, environmental regulation is what the authorities say is required and probably isn't to western standards. However it is in the interests of the factory to protect their workers somewhat because training costs money and skilled labour isn't easy to replace. I know some cycling magazines (Bicycling Australia is one of them) that have been allowed to tour and photograph a few factories if you are interested.
