Super Cycle


For years, I've been telling people:
"If it says 'Super' or 'Pro' on the bike. It ain't."


Well, in a way, I was wrong all along. And the veteran
classic CCM Supercycle is the exception to the rule.
It's a Canadian institution. Blue, and solid like the
Canadian shield. Thirty years later they're still on
the road and little worse for wear. They must have used
the finest cancer-causing Hamilton steel I am sure.
They sit quietly locked onto post and rings all over
town ready for anything we can throw at them: Heat,
humidity, rain, snow, sleet, ice and slush. Sure they
rust but they do so with an understated elegance.

Ride on Supercycle, let those carbon and aluminium
imposters bend, break and shatter. You'll still be whirling
down the road long after they're gone.

True blue.
All steel.
All Canadian.
Super Cycle.
