I saw the film The Flying Scotsman last night, after I’d been meaning to watch it for ages. For those who don’t know, it’s a biopic of Scottish cycling champion Graeme Obree, and outlines his ups and downs throughout his career. His story of success is one of almost legend these days, and I still remember my dad telling me about this guy when I was a kid, who’d built his bike using washing machine parts, and had broken the 1 hour record on it.
I’d thoroughly recommend watching the film, but for now watch this video for an insight into the man himself.
