Période

This bicycle used c. 1965 + Not used after 2012.

Canada

The “Garry” Bicycle was manufactured by CCM for J.H. Ashdown Hardware of Winnipeg, Manitoba. It seems that CCM manufactured a motorbike or Cleveland model bicycle and replaced the head badge with one that reads “Garry, J.H. Ashdown” instead of a standard CCM head badge. The collaboration with J.H. Ashdown allowed CCM to sell and market bicycles through brand names at hardware stores across the country. In Western Canada, the “Garry” was carried by J.H. Ashdown Hardware and in Eastern Canada the “Zenith” was carried by Marshall-Wells. The “Garry” model was probably named in recognition of J.H. Ashdown’s contributions to the building of Upper Fort Garry into Winnipeg. This particular bicycle was purchased by Mr. Patterson’s father-in-law, Harold, who purchased it new in Winnipeg. The bicycle was used in Winnipeg until the family moved to Ottawa. When they reached Ottawa the bicycle was modified to include a dual gear system on the rear hub to make it easier to ride on the hills in Ontario. The dual gear rear hub and the new sprocket are normal CCM parts.

Fonction

Used for personal transportation, and for recreational purposes.

Technique

The bicycle has been modified with CCM parts to adapt it to new road conditions.
