Reebok -

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 50 years you’ve probably heard of the massive Fortune 500 Company Reebok.

Reebok (the name is the South African spelling of the word rhebok, a type of African antelope or gazelle) was originally founded in 1895 by Joseph William Foster in Bolton Lancashire under a company called J.W Foster and Sons Limited. This family-owned business specialized in making running shoes and their popular shoes were worn in the 1924 summer Olympics by the athletes Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams.

All in all Reebok’s United Kingdom-based ancestor company was founded on one of the best reasons possible: athletes wanted more agility and the ability to run faster.

Reebok continued to grow in popularity for over a hundred years until finally, in January 2006 one of its leading competitors Adidas, purchased the company for 3.8 billion dollars. This amazing acquisition increased Adidas’s market share in North American and would allow them to compete with the world’s biggest maker of sports apparel Nike.

With a trusted name such as Reebok, you can rest assure that you’re getting top quality exercise bike equipment. They started the revolution, and they’ll finish it.
