Hiawatha Bicycles

Hiawatha brand bicycles were sold by Gambles Hardware stores from the 1930s through the 1970s. Most Hiawatha bicycles were manufactured by the Cleveland Welding Company or the Shelby Cycle Company, however some were made by Murray Ohio and Huffman Manufacturing.

Seven years later in 1960, Huffman was the third largest bike manufacturer in the United States.^[3] Popular models produced during the heyday of the Huffy Corporation included the RadioBike® (one word), which had an electron-tube radio in the tank; the Scout, a 10-speed road bicycle; the Dragster, a so-called "wheelie bike"; and the Sigma, a BMX bike.
