Period

Unknown

By 1900, the rise in the use of automobiles as personal transport vehicles contributed to the decline of the adult recreational bicycle manufacturing industry. To fill the void, CCM shifted their recreational production to focus on juvenile bicycles, specialty serviced bicycles and "working" bicycles.

Function

A recreational bicycle modified with the CCM Heavy Service Kit to make a delivery bicycle.

Technical

The motorbike style of recreational bicycle was first introduced in around 1900 whereas the "working" bicycles and components were introduced around 1900. This bicycle was manufactured at a time when most major bicycle manufacturers were starting to develop"working" bicycles to meet an increased demand for commercial vehicles. It is an example of a recreational bicycle, motorbike, with "working" bicycle components, after market CCM front carrier and CCM rear carrier.
