Artistic cycling and cycle-ball were among the events at the UCI Indoor Cycling World Championships last week - we take a closer look at these lesser known cycling disciplines. Plus, what can only be described as carnage at the single speed cyclocross world championships...this one is not UCI sanctioned, but saw Sven Nys make a return to the mud!

We've also got Arctic adventures, a new competition and an apology to make to the Japanese Police force...
