I met Dr. Graves several times on Los Angeles Wheelmen rides in the 1970's. Somewhere recently I found an address for the publisher of his book. I have never written to see if the address is active anymore, but who knows: Dr. Clifford Graves' book published by Manivelle Press, P.O. Box 2220 La Jolla, CA 92038

<< Anybody have bio information on Clifford L. Graves? He was one of my heroes when I started riding and reading about riding in the early 70's. He's got a couple of good articles in that Krausz & Krausz gem The Bicycling Book (1982) and is mentioned in Roger St. Pierre's The Book of Bicycling (1973). Apparently cycled his way thru WW 2 including riding away from a line of Panzers at the onset of the Bulge (I'd like to see John Wayne do that). Any leads appreciated.

Hello Gang, I am interested in Clifford Graves as well. He wrote and autobiography published just before his death. He rode the Paris Brest Paris with some friends of mine in the mid 1970's. I never met him but and rode with many of his friends and the history for those interested in such things are very interesting. He was quite a character to some folks.

He was a Rene Herse fanatic and often presold bikes to friends to pickup on arrival in Paris for International Bicycle Touring Society trips based in France I am told.

I'd love to get the source of the autobiography if anyone out there knows.

Yours in cycling,

Gilbert Anderson
