| Bruin Bergmeester:"Lopifit started as a small idea when I was training in the Gym. How can I use the treadmill outdoors? What about a treadmill on wheels? So from my living room I started to make my first Lopifit and took my exercise outdoors. Even my wife loves it! |
When you are walking on the Lopifit you push the treadmill backwards with your feet. A sensor registers the movement of the treadmill and gives a signal to an electric device which will activate the motor. The motor now supports you to continue the walking movement. Using the brake will shut off the motor immediately. If you are going downhill, a free wheel function is activated.

Schwinn - From World Leader To Bankruptcy
The Schwinn Empire came about as the result of one man's dream to introduce to the world a quality product created under a well planned strategy that would knock the socks off their competitors. Ignaz Schwinn, a German immigrant who came to America in 1891, had the desire to be the best and would not accept anything less.
Four years later in 1895, Ignaz Schwinn teamed up with Adolf Arnold, a member of a successfull meatpacking and banking family. Together, they formed the "Arnold, Schwinn & Company." Their focus was to produce a bicycle that was safe, dependable and easier to operate than the current bikes on the road.
In 1896 there were some 300 bicycle companies in the United States. The bicycles of that day had a way to go to be seriously accepted by the overall population. Early bicycles up to the late 1800's were riding on hard rubber tires and were hard to operate. And with prices ranging from $100 to $125, they were not easily affordable to the average Joe.
As the turn of the 20th century was approaching, there was a growing market for dependable and affordable transportation. The world was changing and new inventions were popping up everywhere. Some were hot and others were flops.
The biggest contender in the early 1900's was Henry Ford, the father of the assembly line. His success in the automobile industry was an example and an inspiration to Schwinn. Schwinn sought endlessly to produce bicycles that were innovative, dependable, and affordable.

A Schwinn Bicycle Story

I've always known that Schwinn bicycles were the most coveted bikes in America, and now I understand why. As a child I never owned one and I envied anyone who had the privilege to have one.
The Schwinn Bicycle Company has a fascinating history. Schwinn was the world leader in quality, safety and innovation in the bicycle industry. They produced the safest and highest quality bicycles in the world.
I chose to create this blog revolving around the accomplishments and setbacks that surfaced during those years. It is my desire that you find "Schwinn-Go Bicycle And Fitness" an informative, fun and helpful resource.
Schwinn Sting-Ray And Krate Bike Facts
It was the mid 1960's in Chicago and something big was on the horizon. It hit us fast and hard. Back then, Schwinn Sting-Rays and Krate bikes invaded the American culture with a vengeance. These two wheeled wonders soared to the top of the charts before you could say uncle. Baby-boomers all across America were making their mark on the world. Our day was just beginning. Look out world, here we come!What is it about these cool street riders that makes them still sought after well into the 21st century? Let's explore this phenomenon.
The Inspiration
In the late 1950's and early 1960's "muscle cars and motor cycles" were making quite a statement on the streets across America. They were being tricked out with fancy paint jobs, wide tires and fast engines. The movie "American Graffiti" depicted it perfectly. The cars were super cool! The young drivers were so desperate for the thrill that they had to experience it for themselves.
In an effort to bring that cool to the teen and preteen generation, kids out west mimicked those motorized wonders by customizing their own personal bikes with high-rise handlebars, low-rider seats and slick tires. They created super cool street rides of their own. Their efforts didn't go unnoticed. Someone was watching!
In 1962, Schwinn's engineer, Al Fritz, traveled west to California to check out this exciting and growing trend. Al was so inspired by what he saw that he decided to create a bike that complimented those styles. And so he went back to Chicago and hit the drawing board.
The Sting-Rays
Al wasted no time putting his ideas in motion. He started with a strong 20" Schwinn quality bike frame, fabricated a sleek new banana-style seat and cool high-rise handlebars, labeled it with the trusted Schwinn name and thus, "The birth of the Sting-Ray". It was fantastic! Schwinn was onto something big and boy did it pay off!
