This inspirational documentary is about Graeme Obree, a former world cycling champion and record holder, and his unconventional journey to the human powered land speed competition at Battle Mountain, with a 'prone' bicycle that has been hand-built on his kitchen table in a small flat in Saltcoats.Obree's objective is not only to become the fastest man ever on two wheels, he wants to break 100mph.
I went to this screening of Battle Mountain expecting a film that would appeal to a niche market. Luckily it's quite a big niche, and the cinema was filled with fellow cyclists in an optimistic testament to how the sport has blossomed in the UK.
