Graeme Obree

Obree was known as the Flying Scotsman. He is one of cycling’s record makers.
He did not have a very long career, but broke the world hour record twice – the first time in 1993, a record of 51.596 kilometres.  He beat the record of cyclist Francesco Moser – 51.151 kilometres –  by 445 metres.
Although he went on to lose the record a week later, he regained it a year later in 1994, this time riding 52.713km. His record was broken at the end of that year by the Spanish Tour de France winner Miguel Indurain.
