Sad news over on Bike Radar, where cycling legend and multiple world record holder Graham Obree has confirmed that he won't be making a new attempt on the World Hour record after all. The Scottish cyclist said that after his homemade bike, which had been performing excellently on the road, proved too uncomfortable to ride on the banking during trials at the Manchester velodrome, he was forced to concede defeat. Still, the guy is an absolute legend, and deserves way more recognition than he gets.

True. A shame. He has pulled some rabbits out of some hats before!!
Speaking of the Hour Record Fabian Cancellara is apparently making an attempt in the not so far future. Can't wait to see that monster break 50k!
Indeed, about Fabian:
