- Graeme Obree
The ‘Flying Scotsman’ Graeme Obree took the cycling world by storm and rewrote the record books in the 1990’s.
He was twice World Hour Record holder and twice World Pursuit Champion – setting two new World Pursuit Records along the way.
Graeme is famous for his innovative approach to bike design, equipment and training techniques.
Graeme appeared at the Keswick Mountain Festival in 2009 as one of our headline speakers. In his lecture, Graeme talked about the meaning of cycling on a personal basis, the technological advances in his time and how that has changed the face of competitive sport. He also discussed the psychology of winning and the place and shape of cycling in the 21st Century.
