Small kids smashing the trails, and other cycling videos of the week

Not very road cycling related, clearly, but look at these small boys getting out on their balance bikes and enjoying the trails.

Many professional road riders started out as mountain bikers - most notably Peter Sagan and Cadel Evans - so who knows where these two might end up in years to come.

Cyclist attacked by car passenger

This video came to light this week but looks like the incident took place back in the summer.

This race looks simply brilliant. Already featured on CW this week, it's well worth its place in this cycling videos round-up.

The new segregated cycling superhighway connecting Oval and Pimlico in London has finally opened, with Mayor Boris Johnson riding across Vauxhall Bridge to a mixed reception.
