Huffy Radio Bike

front basket

And on this image of the handle bars you can tell where something used to be attached to them. Any ideas what was there? A basket? Headlights?

What accessories do i need for this bike? Or is it fine the way it is?

it was most likely a front basket.
the places in question would have
been where the top straps where.

i like the bicycle. how does it ride ?
maybe you could hang a walkman am/fm
from the bars, & call this an upgrade. LOL.
the new www 's look nice. enjoy it !

Freaking thing rides great. I love it. I wish i wasn't working today so i could go ride it right now. I love it. I forgot how awesome a good bike ride can be.

Do you think a basket would look good on this bike? What kinda basket? I should probably try to find a beat up rusty basket huh?

probaly had a metal wire basket,
they have 2 straps that go around
handle bar . & 2 support braces ,
going to each side of front axle.
i have a few out in my shed. several
of the bicycles i have had them ,
when i puchased them. i tried to
find a picture w/a basket . (?)
these baskets are nice... if you need
to carry things.
i tried to ride today.
the ice wouldn't let me.
40's tomorrow. i'l ride then.

bicycle riding can cause one
to take an extended lunch !
its very relaxing .
on a classic is the WAY .

it was up into the 70s this last weekend down here in FL. But its supposed to get into the 30s the next few nights.

yeah i think the main riding my bike will receive will be down to my local convenience store for 18 packs of miller high life. So a basket me a come in handy.

sent you a pm bout basket.

baskets, though not original to your bike would be cool. I have a couple of bikes with baskets and they come in handy. I even have a bike with a front basket and two saddle baskets. it's too bad you live so far away I'd give you a basket (I think I have one laying around )

Yes, thanks for the replies about baskets, but i think i am going to wait a while and see what kind of headlight i will get first. then figure out a basket combo.

Do you have to have reflectors on your bike? or is that only if you ride at night? Or only if your smart?

Also, does anyone know if huffy radio bikes have a serial number?

 

[lowindo]

i am thinking a headlight like this may work good with my bike. hopefully i can find a red one eventually.

basket vs. headlite

the serial # is on left rear dropout.


your suppose to have atleast
a rear reflector (RED).

that headlight can be painted red .
headlights look nice, but ,if you don't
ride @ night ,they're useless . also your
gonna need a tail light.

as far as basket goes : i'd only put one on
if i was gonna carry stuff all the time.
you say beerrun is only riding your huffy will
get ? carry the 18pack on the rear rack.
you can't realy run the head light, & basket together. the basket won't fit over the light. thats why all
the bicycles i took baskets off of, all are missing
the head light. in my opinion if your going for
"looks" , go with the lite
its cooler than a basket.
enjoy riding your HUFFY.
