Graeme Obree: HPV speed record update

The Obree/Beastie updates have to be shared, this time from the Comic (Cycling Weekly) and Rick Robson. The Beastie is making progress by the look of things and a medal of honour should be handed out for having a test run in such fowl weather! Great Scottish stuff, I say. Always wishing Graeme the best on his attempt, check the full Cycling Weekly story here.

Graeme Obree Documentary

This teaser clip has been floating around on Vimeo for a couple of months. I can’t find anymore info on it though. I’m very interested and hope this project is happening. We all know Graeme’s past achievements, but I really like what he is doing now and I [like 1000's of others] want to follow his adventures.

Obree and the Land Speed Record

The ingenuity of this man is legendary and he can smash out a cracking good ride too! I admire him so much, as a cyclist, engineer/builder/maker, but most of all for his human spirit.
