I know what you mean. A lot of bicycle company names are confusing. Take Giant Bicycle Company for example. I was thinking they make some large ass frame sizes, like a 66 cm or more. Nope, they top out at 60 like most other manufacturers. Probably should be called Normal Range of Bicycle Frame Sizes Bicycle Company instead. And then there's Schwinn. What's up with that? No one riding a Schwinn has schwonn anything in several decades.

Brilliant use of italics.Pedaled too far.
If you don't like it you can leave on a Huffy.
If that's too quick for you you can leave in a minute and a Huffy.

Ummm...that was Ignaz Schwinn's last name. Since he founded the company, I guess he got to name it after himself.Originally Posted by unkchunk

Jeeze, I think even Dave Stoller won riding a Huffy bicycle.In the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics, United States athletes riding Huffy labeled bicycles combined to win 2 gold, 2 silver, and 1 bronze medals.

There is a big difference between "Huffy Labeled Bicycle" and "Bicycle Actually Made in the Huffy Factory"
Huffy never touched the bikes that won those medals, except with a paintbrush.

I do not understand why Huffy is still in business, and other companies like Schwinn and Raleigh got moved to the side.
I can see one reason to buy a Huffy, and that is to spraypaint it white for use as a ghost bike (a memorial.) However, using one for riding is a totally different matter... but that's IMHO, of course.
