    The machine was cutting out a lively pace on the back stretch when the men
    seated near the training quarters noticed the bicycle was unsteady, the paper
    said. The forward wheel wobbled, and then suddenly, the cycle was deflected
    from its course and plunged off the track into the sand, throwing the rider and
    overturning.

    Well, he was, "getting on a bit" really.

    Interesting brakes though, I must say.

    I like that - especially the PR soundbite at the end:

    "It would climb any hill and outrun any horse."
