The Ironman World Championships in Kona saw plenty of super-aero bikes on display, many of which would get the attention of UCI officials for all the wrong reasons. We play a game of 'Banned or Not Banned' and ask whether you'd be seen on one of these risque frames!

Kim Kardashian-West hit the cycling radar after thieves who robbed her jewellery made their escape via the Velib bicycle hire network in Paris.

Meanwhile in Qatar, the Road World Championships kicked off with the Team Time Trials, with victories for Etixx-Quickstep and Boels Dolmans.
