years ago when i worked at a Toyota garage in the early 80's you could get a Toyota badged bike , only ever saw 1 in the skin looked ok , but dont ask any more questions as i cant remember much else about it

I had a Peugeot mountain bike when I was about 13 (early 90s) . It was a peachy/orange kinda colour.

Was ok until it was about 6 months old and the paint faded to pink.

Then it was pretty embarrassing.

How about Raleigh - they made motorcycles for a while.

Daiwoo. Singer. Cannondale started making bucycle trailers, then bicycles and almost went into motorbike manufacture until a financial crisis halted the project.

Cannondale's original Bugger. Picture from the web

Autobianchi.

Triumph, Rover, ... I even seen a bicycle with a Lambretta badge on it.

Perhaps it would be quicker to name car and motorcycle manufacturers who've never made bicycles?

Cannondale's original Bugger.

Is it really called that?!

I've seen the Skoda in the flesh and it looks great. Land Rover make bikes, but no-one would want one.

Taurus (of off Milan) also made/make a motorcycle.

Triumph! I had a "Palm Beach" for passing my 11 plus in '58

Bridgestone make car tyres (amongst other things) and they used to make bikes (actually I think they still do for the Japanese market) does this count?

My Boris says he will still be going strong when all your skinny road bikes will have blown away in the wind

What would a Morgan bike be like???

As in the Malvern Hills based producer of Ash framed sports-cars

Yes. God knows why. That is the original touring cyclist version.

I believe Grant Petersen, of Rivendell Cycles, was involved in that effort. As US marketing manager, and I think, designer, in some instances.
