How much work ever really gets done on a Friday afternoon? Here at road.cc our procrastination muscles are getting a good work out, we're practicing our beer drinking stance, and planning our #mycyclingweekend rides.
What are you doing? Well, other than tucking in to the best collection of cycling videos anywhere on the internet?
Once you've had your fill, why not tell us how you're planning on spending the rest of your weekend via a tweet, or Instagram photo with the #mycyclingweekend hashtag attached?
In the meantime tuck into some velodrome action from Germany, video tours of Campagnolo's factory and a significantly smaller but more personal affair in Brighton, a wheelie-ing Bummie, some cyclocross madness, and Red Bull's best bits from 2015.
Sixdays Bremen: a festival of cycling and partying. If you're still standing after a day of high octane elite velodrome action, you may not be after the notorious early-hours parties that are thrown in between the days of action.
If you've not heard of it, why not check it out next year with 120,000 other spectators it tends to draw in.
As you can see from the video above, things can get pretty intense in the north German city during the festival.
We hear calls for drivers to share the roads with cyclists all the time. Countless campaigns for on-road cooperation; true road-wide peace is still a pipe dream for many.
Not these guys. Sure, there are no cars involved, but this glimpse into a symbiotic relationship between a pair of longboarders and cyclists sharing an absolutely stunning descent is something to be admired.
The blurb on the video suggests this was shot in Santa Barbra, California. The beautiful vistas we get a peek at while the foresome zip down the hill would indicate that that suggestions is correct.
On a slightly smaller scale to the unbelievable levels of production going on over in Italy with Campagnolo, check out this little workshop in Brighton that produces some stunning custom frames.
Reilly Cycleworks is the name, and we've reviewed some of their gear here on road.cc.
Back in July we took the Reilly T325 titanium road bike out for a spin. Here's what we though:
Every single one of us here at road.cc would be helpless - not this fellar though.
According to one Facebook user to comment on this video, the 'unicycling' legend is a "nice guy" and "owns 9 different bikes but [the one he's on in the video] is his favourite."
We love a bit of cyclocross action here at road.cc, but the videos we usually find featuring cyclocross bikes don't usually include trails as hardcore as this.
Here's Enduro rider Yoann Barelli taking a Giant TCV Advanced Cyclocross bike onto trails you'd usually expect to only find suspension-heavy mountain bikes flying down.
If you wouldn't mind taking a step back in time with us to 1986, we'll check out some slightly more sensible cyclocross riding.
Yep, this is the Guinness Cycle Cross race in a frozen Phoenix Park in Dublin. The nostalgic riders amongst you will revel in the attention one rider gives to his handy handlebar-end gear shifters.
Finally, how many of these top moments of 2015 do you remember.
They all came your way courtesy of Red Bull.
Some year, wasn't it?

Remembrance event driving incident sees woman reported (paywall)...
That prompts me to think of heavy drinkers & smokers asking why teetotallers don't pay the duty on booze and fags....
Still no.
Having a damper on the door, so it cannot fly open would seem to be a simple & effective solution. I've never heard why it's not used.
Or you could play safe and upgrade to 105. No chance of it falling apart in the same way as overpriced Ultegra with it's crappy 'Airfix' glue.
I was going to suggest the Fairlight Strael too, and went to check if it came in on budget. While there, I finally ordered the frameset I've been...
"No darling, I said a cactus bike holder, not a bike cactus holder."...
I have visited Guernsey and my wife goes there a few times a year for work. This act of premeditated violence shocks me. There are quite a lot of...
You could well be right. Personally, I think Avonvale Rd is just a disaster for having two way traffic. So many drivers think the traffic calming...
Although Muller Rd isn't great to cycle on (the north end, anyhow), it's certainly not the worst. I'm definitely in the "brave and bold cyclist" at...
