Waipahu's iron bikers of the 1930's

Fantastic story about the single speed bike riders of Hawaii's past. One of the men in the picture went on to create, Kiyabu Bicycle, which would later come to be known as McCully Bicycle. As always, Lee Cataluna's writing is spot on!

This photo of the Waipahu Pedal Pushers was taken in 1935. The riders were rugged athletes, traveling to Maui to ride up Haleakala on single-speed bikes without brakes. The staff at McCully Bicycle have collected anecdotes about the photo's Pedal Pushers over the years.
