It always amazes me how much resilience people show when faced with difficult conditions. During my research on the René Herse story, I was surprised to learn that cycling and even the building of high-end bicycles continued during the German occupation of France during the war. Recently, I came across a bunch of photos online that illustrate many aspects of cycling (and life) during that time – see my blog post at
