With the double density grips and pedals (I can even wear sandals without any foot slippage) it will be a comfortable ride and cheap mode of transportation. I may live in an active-adult community, but this grandma isn’t over-the-hill yet! In fact, I feel Schwinn Meridian much younger whenever I’m on my Huffy Cruiser. I’ve added a few photos of my Huffy hangin’ out in Solivita (which means ‘Life in the Sun!’) where I live. The Huffy Corporation is a supplier of bicycles with headquarters in Dayton, Ohio, United States.
At their peak, the bicycle division manufactured over two million bicycles per year and were the free world’s largest bike company. For retail purchases returned with a receipt, please return the unused and unopened item, with the

Huffy Sports manufactured sporting goods, including the Hydra-Rib basketball systems used by the NBA. By 2006, Huffy had sold more than 100 million bicycles. After years of struggling against the cut-rate Chinese bicycles that set the price target guiding Walmart, Huffy essentially had become a Chinese-owned company.[17] Today, the design, product development and marketing (majority of all business functions) for Huffy is based in Dayton, Ohio.
Manufacturing is based outside of the U.S.[18] Crown Equipment Corporation now uses the former Huffy U.S. bicycle factory in Celina, Ohio, to produce forklifts. In 1966, Huffman introduced a new long-wheelbase bicycle frame called the Rail. The new frame was approximately 4″ to 5″ longer than previous models.

are issued to the original form of payment; some exclusions may apply. Huffy Bicycles had manufacturing and assembly facilities in Azusa, California (closed in the late 1970s), and Ponca City Oklahoma (closed in the early 1980s), but largely manufactured most of their bicycles in Celina, Ohio, and at one time was Celina’s largest employer.
A few of the most popular models included the Special Roadster, the Racer, the LaFrance, and the Streamliner. In 1949, Huffman developed the Huffy Convertible, which was a children’s bicycle with rear training wheels and foot steps.[2] The invention of the training wheels revolutionized the market for children’s bicycles, and this was the first Huffman huffy cruiser bike bicycle under the Huffy brand. Even though the Huffy Cruiser is awesome exercise for the older sector, this bike has become quite popular with younger college students. Imagine your daughter or grand-daughter cruising the campus on this beauty! And the wire basket and adjustable rear rack are perfect for a backpack, iPad, or stack of books.
After it became apparent that continued U.S. production of low-cost, mass-market bicycles was no longer viable, Huffy had bicycles built by plants in Mexico and China, starting in 1999.[16] The relationship with the Mexican Huffy Nel Lusso plant was severed shortly thereafter. In federal bankruptcy court in Dayton, Ohio, in 2004, Huffy’s assets were turned over to its Chinese creditors. In 2004, Huffy sold its Huffy Sports division to Russell Corporation.
