Extractions: Contact the Bicycle Man History of Fuji Bicycles Beginning in 1899 Fuji has recorded an impressive number of technological firsts. In 2000, they recorded firsts again with the Fuji Team, the bike the Mercury Cycling Team rode to more US National Cup wins than any other team in the past three seasons. Fuji continues its tradition of innovation and value that is hard to beat. Fuji's racing tradition continued, when in 1951 the first Asian games held in New Delhi and was won by a young Shoichiro Sugihara on a Fuji. During this period, Fuji was so popular throughout Asia that sales of Fuji bicycles were quickly expanded into other Asian markets. In 1964, the Olympics were held in Tokyo and Fujis chief engineer and world-renowned competitive bike designer Dr. Shoichiro Sugihara coached the Japanese national team. He also designed the bicycles that the team competed on. This is the same Shoichiro Sugihara that won the first international cycling competition on a Fuji. He repeated this role at both the 1968 Olympics in Mexico and the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Fujis place in bicycle history was assured. In 1971, Fuji America was established on our shores. Those were days during which recognition for the innovation, efficiency and craftsmanship of Japanese manufacture was reserved to the connoisseur. It was just beginning to become apparent in the field of electronics and the automotive world. Our mission was clear-cut: earn the deserved admiration of what Japan's combination of modern technology and old world ideology could achieve. With one look, one ride, Fuji became one of the most respected brands in the U. S. Among Fujis breakthroughs in those early years was the utilization of double-butted Chrome Molybdenum frame sets on many popular-priced models.

Recorded history of the Games dates back to 776 B.C., when the five days of sporting events were primarily religious ceremonies. For the first known 13 Games, the competition consisted of single foot race of 200 yards, which was the approximate length of the Olympic stadium. The Games expanded to include additional contests and reached their height by fifth century BC. Men competed, in the nude, in running, wrestling, pentathlon, horse riding and chariot races. Why in the nude well, to keep the ladies out of the action. Women were barred from watching or competing, and were even put to death if they were caught at the early Games. Today, not only are women allowed to watch and compete, they are encouraged to do so. Check out a few of our historical Olympic pages here at usolympicteam.com.
