The Flying Scotsman…..

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 is going to talk 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 will also discuss the psychology of winning and the place and shape of cycling in the 21st Century.  As well as answering any other questions that come along!
