Pacific Cycle

Pacific Cycle, Inc., is an American subsidiary of Dutch conglomerate Pon Holdings that makes, imports and distributes bicycles. It was founded in 1977 by Chris Hornung. The company pioneered the sourcing of bicycles from the Far East for distribution in the U.S., developing relationships with suppliers primarily in Taiwan and China. Pacific later bought several American subsidiaries with well-known American bicycle brands, with some manufacturing in the United States, including Roadmaster, Schwinn, and GT, as well as diversifying into bicycle accessories and other types of children's play equipment.
