Erik Pettersson (cyclist)

Erik HÃÂ¥kan Pettersson (born 4 April 1944) is a retired Swedish cyclist. He was part of the road racing team of four Pettersson brothers, known as FÃÂ¥glum brothers, who won the world title in 1967Ã¢ÂÂ1969 and a silver medal at the 1968 Olympics; three of the brothers were also part of the bronze-winning road team at the 1964 Games. In 1967 they were awarded the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal.

Erik was the fastest sprinter among the FÃÂ¥glum brothers; he was nicknamed RÃÂ¶dtoppen for his red hair. He turned professional after the 1969 World Championships, together with the other brothers, but had little success and retired in 1971.
