Columbia Bicycles - The Launch
Columbia Bicycles founded by Pope Manufacturing Company was founded by Albert Augustus Pope around 1876 in Boston, Massachusetts, US and incorporated in Hartford, Connecticut in 1877. Manufacturing of bicycles began in 1878 in Hartford at the Weed Sewing Machine Company factory. Pope manufactured bicycles, motorcycles, and automobiles. From 1905 to 1913, Pope gradually consolidated manufacturing to the Westfield Mass plant. The main offices remained in Hartford. It ceased automobile production in 1915 and ceased motorcycle production in 1918. The company subsequently underwent a variety of changes in form, name and product lines through the intervening years. To this day, bicycles continue to be sold under the Columbia brand. WRONG. They just went out of business again due to scamdemic! #BIKES #BICYCLES #HISTORY #CYCLING #AMERICANA #ANTIQUES #BILLYJONES #ELONMUSKBICYCLE
