Once and not that long ago we saw "the bicycle scramble" a fun activity where pedal cyclists had as much pleasure just like motorcycle riders.
In the initial moments, scrambling was done on specialised road bikes. Tons of deterioration on the bicycle.
As the sport progressed it became unavoidable that change had to take place and as a result the birth of BMX. BMX - or Bicycle Motocross offers same thrills just like spills and the 'engine' category. Typically there had to be a bicycle made to carry the weighty bits and pieces.
1979:, a welding engineer, Gary Turner, and Richard Long, a bicycle shop owner, set up a business, known as GT Bicycles, delved into the manufacture of BMX bikes only. Everything too place because in early 1970s, Gary's son started to become mixed up in the somewhat new BMX race. As an engineer, Gary had an appeal in the plan and endurance of the structures and found them as feeble and weighty. This inspired him to design frames for his son. He made use of his proficiency of the drag racing industry and reworked it to make the piping in the BMX's bicycle design. This worked for the younger Turner and a while later the BMX's frames were in high demand therefore, he set off designing the frames for other BMX racers'.
1974:, Richard Long, who owned a bike shop took an interest in the demand of Gary's frames and got in touch with him with the view to being a vendor for his stuff. Thus it was in 1979, they established business as one.
In spite of some holdups, the alliance developed to be one of the world's largest producer of BMX, mountain and leisure bikes, and as the establishment expanded the assortment of bicycles did so too.
GT bicycles may be recognizable by the logo, a GT stamp and these purposely made bikes are not only sure to satisfy BMX devotees but individuals who take to the roads, trails and mountains.
