Shelby Cycle Company was an Ohio bicycle manufacturer known for stylish balloon-tire bicycles, including Shelby Flyer, Traveler, Airflo, and licensed character models.

Company history

The struggling Shelby Cycle Frame Builders operation was reorganised as Shelby Cycle Company in 1925 and began assembling complete bicycles in Shelby, Ohio. It expanded rapidly through the 1930s, building hundreds of thousands of bicycles and supplying major department stores. Its distinctive streamlining and promotional models became widely collected; production at the original company ran until 1953.
