Speed Beast

BeastieGraeme Obree – a.k.a. the Flying Scotsman – made famous for his efforts to set the one hour record on the track with a homemade bicycle that included parts from a washing machine, is now reportedly looking to break the human-powered land speed record. More than that this innovative cyclist hopes to break the 100 mph barrier at the same time, and he looks to do so with the Beastie.

This bicycle will put Obree in the prone position inside a Kevlar and fiberglass shell, which features a rounded front section. Obree will reportedly head to Nevada’s Battle Mountain to look to make his record attempting ride in September.
