We wish we could tell you in all honesty that we were bringing a bit of celebrity to you in today's video round-up, but if you overlooked the parentheses in the headline, we may have inadvertently duped you.
We start today's round-up with our dash of 'celebrity' with a Wiggo-alike. That video is followed by a pretty painful crash caught on a family's securty CCTV camera.
We then move to Falkirk, where we see a first hand account of why it's a place you might want to avoid at this time of year.
Chris Akrigg then takes us on a tour of the '80s, Specialized gives us a look at its custom Red Hook Crit - Barcelona livery, and then we dive into the Transcontinental Race.
You'll have to look closely to spot the crash in this one.
CCTV cameras have plenty of uses, but if you use the internet as a barometer, you'd expect that their primary use is for producing comedy and wince-worthy videos for YouTube.
Whether this unfortunate cyclist was deep in the red zone, playing Pokemon Go, or double checking his route, we'll never know.
Tourism is on the rise in Scotland, but the old adage of being wary of the locals has never been more true than it is at this time of year in Falkirk.
Midges are genuinely something worth considering if you're planning a trip up the Cairngorms. As you can see here, midges can cause all sorts of problems, and if you're not as equipped as this fella is, this whole experience would be nightmare fuel.
The Transcontinental Race is one of the biggest undertakings you can undertake on two wheels.
Here's about as intimate a look as you can get.

There are probably plenty of reasons to avoid Falkirk (south bank of the Forth) but the midge video was from the Cairngorms, as close to Falkirk as Leicester is to London...
