Not every cyclist is lucky enough to be tutored by an Olympic legend the first time they ride in a velodrome. Then again, not every track rider showing someone how to ride the boards has as their pupil someone whose exploits on a bike have been viewed by millions worldwide.
But that’s the set-up in this film from the organisers of the Glasgow 2012 Commonwealth Games, who brought together Scotland’s two most famous cycling sons, Sir Chris Hoy and Danny MacAskill, at the velodrome that bears the name of the six-time Olympic champion.
We reckon it’s a nice tonic after the week the sport has had, guaranteed to put a smile on your face, and it also saves us having to ask Dave to break out the picture of the kittens. Enjoy.
First time on a track and he's only 4 and a bit seconds off what the top guys are doing. Not bad at all. Bit more training on lines and getting a good gearing......But he did seem knackered 
4 and abit.. would epo not cover that? seems the best option?
2 wheels please!

Fantastic short video of Danny & Chris, certainly warmed the heart and cleared the mind of the awful news of late!
Two great guy's with a mutual respect for each other, Brilliant.
Bit more training on lines and getting a good gearing...
Is that another Armstrong technique?
