The top Italian bread dog, died a dog’s death within a few years of being a puppy. However, it was the utilitarian, run of the mill, mass marketed CCM that won the publics pocket books. From balloon tired Motorbike of the fifties, to luxury lighter weight cruisers, of the sixties and seventies, finishing up with top of the line, Italian bread, racing bicycles, just about anything could be had. The CCM bicycles offered covered an absolutely full gambit of what could be offered. Bicycle production, however, remained strong, flourishing even in today’s market place. The CCM motorcycle was to be a short lived venture for the company, and production was brought to a halt in 1912. Though I am not sure if CCM still makes or sells motors, they did at one time, around 1910. The company began supplying bicycles prior to 1900. CCM is the acronym for Canadian Cycle and Motor Company. CCM, a Canadian based conglomerate, was one of them.
Some pretty big and powerful companies have been and still are involved in the bicycle industry.
