Harlan Meyers (1924-2013) and his Hi-E products represent the highest examples of “Yankee Ingenuity” at work. Mr. Meyers re-engineered, to his own taste and concepts, bicycle hubs, pedals, rims and even the entire bicycle… all in a very homespun Americana way.

“I remember that bike. It creaked so loud you always knew where Steve was, and when he was attacking. But it was very light for the time.” Bill Brissman
