«Flying Scotsman: The Graeme Obree Story» is the sports autobiography of Graeme Obree, published by Birlinn Ltd in paperback (288 pages, in English).
Obree recounts his tough childhood in Ayrshire, his escape on the roads, and how he broke Francesco Moser's hour record in 1993. He tells of his duels with Chris Boardman, his European success, and the controversy over his style and his 'Old Faithful', built from washing machine parts, without hiding his battle against depression.
Published in September 2004, this edition includes a foreword by Francesco Moser, holder of the hour record that Obree broke in 1993.
For cycling enthusiasts and readers of sports biographies, interested in hour records and the history of Scottish cycling.
