"Obree spent a year and a half training on the bike which worked brilliantly on the road. Despite his age he was clocking some promising times. ...
But when Obree took to Manchester’s velodrome for a trial run in August it went badly wrong. Watched by former national British cycling coach Doug Daley, Obree’s bike proved useless.
