... but if an aspiring youngster decides to emulate the great MR O but ends up with an injury because of it then perhaps it might matter slightly more?

How is that anything to do with Mr O? At least we would be rid of one witless youngster.

Wait until you see his new machine then!

He plans an attempt on the World HPV record on a prone.

Tim Esldale's Cool Breeze was fairly successful in the late 90's, but loked a bit wierd with teh rear fairing!

Yeah I saw that, hats off for having the imagination and skill to be able to build it. I'm particularly intrigued by the invisible pedals

I'm very keen to have a go on a bent of some description, hell I'd buy one if I could afford to, but a prone, no thank you

I have been riding Bents for twenty years now and have over this time riden most shapes and sizes including the cool Breeze - if it wasn't for a lack of sight lines when riding I wouldn't have any more problems with this tahn any low rider.

My Hurricane, and Catrike are probably as low or lower than Obree's machine
