EP 011 Huffy Bicycles, The Pepsi Challenge, and Jeff Teel on Cycleblaze riding a single speed Huffy from 1977!

The Huffy Corporation, bicycles for the masses.  These are often our first bikes so let's take a deep dive into the companies history at least up until the early 1980s.  We will even get a chance to lust after the Huffy Pro Thunder and learn that the delicious Pepsi Light contains caffeine.

Did the Pepsi Challenge Bottle Cap contest destroy Generation X?  Is that why we our generation is known for apathy?

If you are going on a bike tour and think you need to prove something or spend a lot of money run over to Cycleblaze.com and look for Jeff Teel.  Read his travel journal on the Montgomery Ward (Huffy) Single Speed and let me know if you still need that brand new $3,000.00 Surly, or Trek, or fill in the blank.  Jeff Teel is the penultimate eco warrior and never once calls attention to himself for his eco friendly ways.
