It's lovely to see an interview with one of the riders, but if the fellow on the motorbike tries to claim a finishing medal, I'm ordering a stewards inquiry.

He'll do well to finish riding a cardboard box...

Already the holder of four world records, Andrei Burton broke three more on Saturday morning.
He beat the record for the biggest vertical drop onto a target, notching 3.34m to beat the previous record of 3.3m.
He then managed 75 wheelie hops in 30 seconds to gazump the original record of 62.
And finally, Burton secured the highest bicycle side hop ever, 1.575m just edging out the record of 1.55m.
Unbelievable achievement!

Geoff Whitington was 20 stone, on crutches, had type 2 diabetes and was in danger of losing his foot through Charcot foot - a serious complication of diabetes.
That's when his sons decided they needed to do something, dug his bicycle out of the shed and started getting him on the move.
Geoff went on to complete the RideLondon, external 100-mile ride and says to anyone "just set a goal and you can achieve most things".

And that brings us to this morning.

British rider Dani King, who won gold in the team pursuit at London 2012,finished outside the top 10 in the 66km race around a central London circuit.

To be frank, I imagine it takes an awful lot of practice before you can start front flipping over giant balls...
But the good news is we caught up with Danny to pick his brains on how to get started.
Enjoy!
Danny MacAskill gives us a couple of tricks to try.

Today is the third in our festival of cycling fun, and we've had some memorable moments from Friday and Saturday as well.
Thousands took to the streets on Friday to enjoy hand cycling, including an elite handcycling grand prix, and a rather special BMX exhibition.
Leading that was Scottish trial cyclist Danny MacAskill. The stunts he can pull on a bicycle are insane. Here's a taster...
There's Danny, cycling directly at a large red ball.
He's crashed into it here. It looks like he's going over the handlebars.
He did go over the handlebars! It looks as though he's done it on purpose!
You know what's coming next...
He does a flip, via an inflatable, and lands it. What a guy.
