   Shimano make great fishing tackle especially reels, from applying their expert gear-engineering skills from bicycle manufacturing, plus is an outdoor sport.

      They started with reels! Bikes came after.

         IIRC, they specifically started with freewheels because they arent that different from a reel in how they work.
