Scots cyclist Graeme Obree has set his sights on a new world record, aiming to break the human-powered vehicle land speed time by a considerable margin.
Obree, 46, famed for his unusual bike designs and unorthodox cycling positions, is hoping to break the current 83mph record on a new vehicle."I don't want to curse it, but I would like to do 100mph," said Obree.
He was depicted by actor Jonny Lee Miller in a film of his life in 2006.
