Brian Long is a professional writer with over 80 books to his credit, mainly on motoring, but occasionally he covers other subjects close to his heart, such as photography and motorbikes. Cycling is another hobby – or obsession – of his, in particular the golden years of racing ... Brian has written this book with his friend Philippe Claverol. The pair have worked together in the past, but more importantly share the same passion for cycling as they do for old cars. Claverol is in the perfect position to add weight to the subject, being a member of the management team at PSA in Paris. --- Philippe Claverol is a French car and cycle enthusiast, currently residing in Paris. As a Citroën executive (President of Citroën Czechoslovakia and Citroën Japon), Philippe naturally has strong links with the Citroën marque, and also the PSA factory. His love of old school cycling and bicycles in general – a passion shared with Brian Long, whom he befriended whilst he was the President of Citroën Japan – spurred him on to write in his spare time. Both of his books have been co-authored with prolific motoring writer, Brian Long, the first about the Citroën SM, and the second about classic Peugeot bicycles.
