I'm hearing news reports in the business world about a commodity supercycle.  Has anybody ridden one?  Or even see one??

Apparently, they have been around for awhile.   Obviously, I keep missing actually seeing one, although I am aware that, depending on the quality of materials used in one, they may have some longevity.

I remember a magazine called Supercycle, back in the '70's.  Maybe they started producing commodity cycles?

Supercycle was Zellers (or something like that) garbage, department store bicycle line, made from gas pipe and chewing gum.

So, one step above Huffy.

Someone told me it's a bagger, intended for grocery shopping.
