Heroes and Villains

Scotish Biking Hero: Graeme Obree, read his book "Flying Scotsman". Made his own bikes out of bits of scrap, never made anything like a decent living from cycling, pissed off the UCI just by being "generally a bit mad" and broke Merckx hour record - a feat so bloody hard Lance Armstrong thought about it once but decided it was too hard to be worth trying.

Scotish Biking Villain: David Millar, god I hate this bloke - whinging scotish git who artfully combined constant moaning about how hard biking was, celebrating how little training he did in the off season, drug taking and not actually being all that good
