will pay over $60 million to acquire Schwinn/GTs Cycling Division assets. In todays hyper business market of Internet naming rights and billion dollar mergers, the selling price seems like pocket change for one of the greatest names in American business history. I know in my time as a bike mechanic, Ive spent more time than I wish to consider struggling to adjust flimsy derailleurs or brakes on some neon-painted duel-suspension imitation. Ive nearly thrown out my back lifting the thick-walled steel frames onto the repair stand. Straight-gauge steel affixed with plastic components do not, I can assure you, equal a quality bicycle, no matter how great the price seems. The curves on the frame, the matching fenders, the brown density grips and pedals, and even the reflectors all offer the perfect throwback vibe that will get you plenty of glances on the road.
With both the Men’s and Women’s cruiser bikes, you will be getting cozy with the padded bike seat and handlebars when cycling. Being able to plant both your feet on the ground offers you more balance and control to ride confidently no matter the terrain. The frame is a perfect fit, and the modern design ensures you have fun each time you get on to ride. In 1962, Peter Mole of the John T. Bill & Co contacted Huffman with a concept for producing a bicycle based on a motorcycle, which he called the High Rise. Mole developed the bike based on heavily modified children’s bicycles that were becoming popular with pre-teens in Southern California, and which mimicked the appearance of customized “chopper” motorcycles.
Most of their mountain bikes also have wide, knobbly tires that measure 24 x 2.4 inches and have excellent traction. One of the biggest benefits of mongoose bmx bike bikes is the comfort they provide. In 2017, the company launched their Perfect Fit™ Frame, allowing riders to assume a riding position that keeps their feet planted on the ground. This is a brand that’s based on affordability and comfort, so most of Huffy’s bikes are reasonably priced and available from department stores like Walmart and Target. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually.
“For far too long the cycling industry has been solely focused on the pinnacle athlete, but these results show that a broader, family and beginner focus can reap gains. This is a silver lining, and one of the important sports retail lessons to come out of the pandemic,” said NPD’s sports industry advisor Matt Powell. Huffy, for much of the 1930’s to 1960’s, manufactured bicycles that were equivalent to — if not as fancy as — Schwinn, and they have found a niche among collectors. However, older Schwinns still are considered more collectible. The older Huffy bikes were quite nice for their era and can be a great pick-up, if you can find them at a garage sale or craigslist. If someone unilaterally says that all Huffys are junk, there are several examples of quality or dependable bicycles you can refer them to.
