Just like trailers, bicycles are a class of military vehicles for which IŽd like to call more attention to.
On eBay I came across a Canadian CCM "Rambler" up for auction, of which I am posting details and pictures here in a quest for more information on this subject in general, and to make sure this particular bike does not disappear into oblivion after the auction. Quote:

Bike
I think, the australians have taken the same bike to GIARABUB (...and I wonder, how they wanted to drive it in the sand...)?

Shit. The link is not complete.
Give the search terms "ww2" and "giarabub". Then the oic appears on the second page. Sorry, Kuno |

This is a thread that looks of interest as I am thinking of buying a 1940s CCM Rambler that seems to be checking all the boxes at being of military service but I find it is like a black hole for learning anything about these bikes (specs, numbers purchased, etc). I 100% agree with Hanno that wartime bicycles are an area poorly looked at and next to nothing for info about, tons of stuff about American bicycles and the folding BSA but little info on other bikes at war.

And the cycle manufacturer's other contributions to the War Effort.
Were CCM and BSA(cycles) not also makers of BREN tripods?

CCM made bren tripods and their initials can also be found on many Canadian no4 rifle lower forestock nosecaps. I have seen their initials on some other pieces, but can't recall right now where they were. |
