Where were CCM's sold?

Lansdowne, ON

Heading out to Lansdowne to do a presentation tonight. Here is a photo of an early bicycle shop there at the turn of the century. The building to the left is supposedly a bank and the building to the right is the bicycle shop. Not too clear, but you get the idea.

1908 CCM stamp launch - June 5

Disappointed they got the name of the company wrong (Canadian Motor & Cycle) and told them so. Otherwise this is cool.

CCM on CBC

Doing an interview tomorrow for the "Ontario Morning" show on CBC Radio One. I believe it will air on Friday morning (Apr. 19).

Update: The interview I did today won't actually air tomorrow, but the gentleman's (Jack Roe) report of it will. Still learning how these things work.
