Editing Graeme Obree (section)

===Other achievements===
Obree was [[individual pursuit]] world champion in 1993 and 1995. He broke the British 10-mile [[individual time trial]] record in 1993, won the [[Cycling Time Trials|RTTC]] 50-mile championship the same year (a record 1h 39m 1s), and won the 25-mile championship in 1996. In 1997 he joined forces with coach Joe Beer and clocked 18m 36s in a 10-mile time trial (V718 Hull) and next day won the [[British Cycling Federation]] 25-mile championship - this was part of building towards an hour record attempt that was eventually shelved.

The writer Peter Bryan, of ''[[The Times]]'', said:

<blockquote>''To see Obree in full flight, shoulders hunched and elbows tucked into his ribs, is a memorable sight. His face contorted with pain illustrates the effort he is putting in. And yet, not too many minutes after he has finished a ride the champion is sufficiently relaxed to talk with a queue of pressmen.''<ref name="PCi" /></blockquote>
