That's a cool looking bike. Buddy bought a bike with hydrolic brakes around 15 years ago. Looked something a mountain bike hybrid or something. Spent 3k I was just happy on my 200 dollar CCM ice bike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was probably 10 or 11 I worked all summer at a friend's tree farm and bought a brand new Mongoose. I thought it was the shit. Yup, cool as hell and the bike to have, until BMX bikes came out. Yup 1975 or 6 i think it was. the huffy thunder road first (factory) BMX bike i ever saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticCrusher Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 There were some tree-huggers trying to ride these out on the sled trails a few years back. They were walking them. I guess the fad didn't last to long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffy got branded the un-cool bike, once BMX took off. I think it was after ET came out, everybody was getting these high dollar bikes and you couldn't be on no kmart special Huffy. I dig the metal pedals with teeth on them.............The horror!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the fellows riding them though if the sleds covered varying terrain, then so could they. Only place I see them is on flat trails.

I know people commute with them in the winter in the Twin Cities and I've seen a couple on the plowed bike path here, but that is it.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted May 17, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 17, 2017 I had a really cool bike back in the 70's. Full suspension, heavy and a single speed. Damn that thing was cool for its time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, they did get branded the un cool bike even though they more or less pioneered the trend. I never went the bmx route, went from a banana seat bike to a 10 speed. But i was doing hare scrambles on a bultaco 175 about the time it caught on in the mid 70s. pretty much dropped peddling once i got a dirt bike.
