Fender Factory

I love factories - all kinds. Just seeing how and where things are made, even items as simple as no-tech bicycle accessories enthralls me.

Some pix from a fender factory that I visited this afternoon in Taichung, Taiwan.

    Factory tours can be fun. If you really want to see something, have them take you to a forging factory like Liow Ko. THAT is impressive. Oh, and loud.

    On the other end of the spectrum, go to a tire factory. Especially the room where they make tubes.

    Glad you're having fun!
