    +1 for Obree - more people should know the history.

    For those into cycling who don't already know them, the Obree book [0] and film [1] are worth the time.

    For anyone who hasn't seen it, look up "The flying Scotsman"

    He also played Graeme Obree in the Flying Scotsman.

    That's a good film too.

    You may enjoy the film based on his life.

    Have any of the Howard Hughes documentaries or dramatizations been any good?

    I've seen some fairly positive reviews of "the Flying Scotsman", about a bicyclist (Graeme Obree) who built his own rather innovative designs and broke several world records.
