Période

general: late 1960's +

Canada

Super Cycle was the brand name used for many years by major Canadian retailer Canadian Tire for the wide range of bicycles it marketed. The bicycles were made by Canadian and foreign manufacturers and ranged from coasters to multi-speed versions.

Fonction

A human-powered personal transportation or recreational vehicle for one person.

Technique

The vendor of this bicycle identified it as a 1967 Super Cycle with a 3-speed twist shift. The 3-speed Roadster Super Cycle in Canadian Tire's 1966-1967 catalogue [Ref. 1] is described as being made by Canada's leading manufacturer of quality bikes; this was probably CCM, Canada's leading manufacturer of cycles from early in the 20th century until the early 1980s. In the 1968-1969 catalogues [Refs. 2-3] and later, the 3-speed roadster was apparently made by Britain's leading bicycle manufacturer, presumably Raleigh. The CSTM example lacks the white striping of the 1967 CCM version. From the 1969 catalogue [Ref. 3]: 'Packed with action features by England's most famous bicycle producer to promise the fleetest, most comfortable ride ever. Features 3-speed motor-cycle-type "Twist Grip" hand shift for greater power uphill and on the straightaway. Smooth-action caliper brakes on front and rear wheels. Sturmey-Archer 3-speed hub for smoother shifts; heavily chrome-plated rims, mudguard, chain guard and other 'bright' parts. Non-slip, rubber block pedals; mattress-style leatherette saddle with coil inner springs. Whitewall sure-grip tires; rugged tubular steel frame in Metallic Blue with safety tip (with jeweled reflector) at rear.' By approximately 1973-1974 Canadian Tire was offering a British made 3-speed bicycle with Sturmey-Archer gearing but with a trigger shift [Refs. 5-6].
