There is a legacy with our bicycle company and
it started in 1937.
It began with my father,
George Joannou. He was born in 1910
on the island of Cyprus. He heard about opportunities
outside of his country
He started his little import business.
He imported lightweight bicycles into the United States.
He imported bicycles from UK, France, Taiwan,
When he was in Taiwan
he started becoming sick. I went to his room
at the hospital and he took my hand
and he said "Carine please
don't let the bicycle company die."
I made a promise that I would always
continue that legacy that he started and
continue with some of the values and
the beliefs that he had instilled in myself
and my family. Everybody works really hard
and together with a common goal and
that goal is to come out with the best products possible.
Mountain bicycles, road bicycles, kids bicycles, beach cruisers,
lifestyle leisure, fitness transit,
Jamis has it all. Not only do we have
a very good presence here in the United States
but we're fortunate to be able to sell
in 52 different markets
around the world and
that's something that we're very proud of
we've been able to do since 1937
