The observation tower is located approximately 300m from the Prague-Radotín train station and approximately 150m from the Prague public transport stop Nádraží Radotín. Parking is available in the area of the former Vindyšova továrna, today SBCR (if open) or in the nearby parking lot on Na Betonce Street (near the local housing estate).
One of six metal observation towers by sculptor Čestmír Suška was installed near the Prague – Radotín train station in the area of the Ski and Bike Centrum Radotín (formerly Vindyšova továrna) in October 2021.
The monument was created especially for SBCR by welding two discarded cisterns from Hodonín, originally used to store wine. Subsequently, holes in the shape of a bicycle chain link, 40 cm long, were cut into the container, thanks to which the work was named Řetězovka bicycle observation tower. The opening of the observation tower, which offers mostly local views, took place on October 21, 2021, on the occasion of the celebration of 33 years of SBCR.
The SBCRs side building is worth noting. It was originally the building of the Vindyš factory, which had been producing gym equipment there since 1910. Its founder, Josef Vindyš (1842-1913), was a Czech engineering entrepreneur, a member of Sokol and the owner of a factory for the production of mechanical equipment for pubs, restaurants and breweries in Smíchov (founded in 1876). In addition to bar equipment, his company began to focus on the mass production of gym equipment from 1881 and soon became one of the largest of its kind in Austria-Hungary. In 1907, Josef Vindyš decided to move the factory to Radotín due to space requirements. Gradually, a large production area (even with its own foundry) grew up here, employing up to 200 workers, located on the western side of the local railway line, which facilitated the forwarding of products not only across Europe, but also to the USA. In 1911, the company even opened its branches in Vilnius and St. Petersburg.
After the death of Josef Vindyš in 1913, the company was taken over by his son Otakar (1884-1949), an athlete and Czech hockey representative (since 2010 a member of the Czech Hockey Hall of Fame). Due to his great love for the sport, as well as due to the decrease in the number of new outlets and the period of World War I, he is said to have neglected the company so much that after a few years the company went bankrupt. In the following decades, the factory building rather fell into disrepair. Until the management decided to move its operations to the brownfield of the former Vindyš factory.
