Geraint Thomas plays Innuendo Bingo, plus more cycling videos
Here's the latest look at the best cycling videos from around the internet
For this week's cycling videos of the week round-up we kick off with fan favourite Geraint Thomas paying a visit to Radio 1.
Away from that there are plenty of other clips including Wiggo's attempt at a track stand, our guide to winter clothing and a look at commuting through traffic in the Philippines.
That's one way to make your turbo session more interesting…

Ever wondered what cyclists get up to during the off-season? Team Sky rider Geraint Thomas headed in to BBC Radio 1's Scott Mills Show for a round of Innuendo Bingo.
For anyone who's unfamiliar, the premise is that a guest sits opposite Mills's co-presenter Chris Stark, they fill their mouths with water, listen to some funny clips from television and radio, then when laughing the water is projected over the other person.
Thomas can be seen fully kitted, astride his Tour de France bike in a static trainer… possibly the most interesting indoor training session the Welshman has had for a while.
