Graeme Obree (the subject of this article) is a great hacker. No, not in the software sense, but most definitely in the cycling world. Consider:
- At least twice he produced advances so innovative that they were subsequently banned (his "Old Faithful" bicycle and his "Superman" riding position)
- He's quoted as saying, "My biggest fear is not crashing on a bike and losing some skin. It's sitting in a chair at 90 and saying, 'I wish I had done more.'"
- Even when he fails, he gets up and tries again (though, hopefully, he won't attempt suicide a third time.)
