Huffy
The Huffy Corporation is an American manufacturer and importer of bicycles. It has its roots in 1887 when George P. Huffman purchased the Davis Sewing Machine Company and moved its factory to Dayton, Ohio. They made their first bicycle in 1892. In 1924, George's son, Horace M. Huffman, Sr., founded the Huffman Manufacturing Company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Huffy Corporation )〕 From then until 1949, Huffy continued to manufacture and sell bicycles under the "Dayton" brand.〔
During the 1930s, Huffy participated in the revival of the American cycling industry, during which Horace Huffman commented on a "change of attitude". Although Huffy dabbled in the high-end of the market, they never overcame their entry-level reputation. In 2004, Huffy sold its Huffy Sports division to Russell Corporation. Huffy Sports manufactures sporting goods, including the Hydra-Rib basketball systems used by the NBA. By 2006, Huffy had sold more than 100 million bicycles.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Huffy Bicycles )〕 Bicycles sold under the Huffy name are now made in China.〔
==Early history==
In 1949, Huffy developed the Huffy Convertible, a children's bicycle with rear training wheels and foot steps.〔 The Convertible revolutionized the children's market and was the first Huffy bicycle under the Huffy name. In 1953, a Huffy logo was created and Huffy switched all its bicycles to the Huffy name. Popular models included the Special Roadster, the Racer, the LaFrance, and the Streamliner.
By 1960, Huffman was the third largest bike manufacturer in the United States.〔 Popular models produced during the heyday of the Huffy Corporation included the ''Radio Bicycle'', which had a radio in the frame; the ''Scout'', a 10-speed road bicycle; the ''Dragster'', a so-called "wheelie bike"; and the ''Sigma'', a BMX bike.
