Some new CCM history located between the two factories.

Submitted by DUOMATIC on Tue, 04/18/2017 - 00:17

On Saturday April 15th 2017, the city of Toronto put up some local history art panels on the retaining wall

between the train tracks and Weston Road. The retaining wall runs from Rogers road to Black Creek Drive

on the East side of Weston Road.

The retaining wall is located between the original CCM location (1880s-1920 approx) at 201 Weston Road

and the location near Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue (!920-1983 approx).

 

There are quite a few panels representing the past.

Moffet ovens was a large employer in Weston and has a panel.

Seeking some history

Submitted by FreeLander on Fri, 04/14/2017 - 17:37

Hi, I'm in Toronto for a few days. If I can manage sneaking away from my family for an hour or so I would love to see some Canadian bicycle history. I was wondering if there was a plaque/historical site to celebrate CCM somewhere in Weston. Or something/somewhere else that may be cool to see. Thanks. Daryl

Newspaper Ad

Submitted by ItsSandyPants on Fri, 08/12/2016 - 08:31

Hi Folks,

I had some time at the local library and finally was able to make use of the archived newspapers. Thanks to the foresight of one Enterprise-Bulletin publisher, paper copies of the newspaper were copied to reel films. The films go back to 1800's I believe. I like reading the vintage ad`s and such and wanted to find CCM material. Attached is from The Enterprise-Bulletin April 18, 1940.

Regards,

1940s Ccm Bicycle repair stands.

Submitted by simonkarl on Sun, 10/25/2015 - 20:10

Hello all! So I was at the Aberfoyle antique market today for the first time. I meet a gentleman who is a vendor, from windsor and he told me he bought the contents of a ccm dealer in Windsor. Amongst the many many items he told me he sold last year, he had 4 ccm repair / work stands. Curious to know if anybody on here bought them at all?, if so maybe post some pictures, I'd love to see one, fascinated. Wish I was able to own one.

I was at the patent office in Ottawa some years ago and did this research. Here is a list of all bicycle related patents taken out by CCM (except the first one) throughout their existence, including year, patent holder, number, patent title, and my notes in brackets:
