Flying Scotsman's "Beastie" to be first human-powered vehicle to achieve 100 mph on the flat?

Flying Scotsman's "Beastie" to be first human-powered vehicle to achieve 100 mph on the flat?: "Scottish cyclist Graeme Obree is building a special sort of bicycle. He's building it in his own kitchen without a lick of research assistance to inform the design. Why might research assistance be useful? Because with this bicycle, dubbed Beastie, Obree intends not only to break the human-powered vehicle land speed record, but also hopes to be the first person to break 100 mph (161 km/h). But then, Obree's never been one to do things the easy way."
