La trouée d’Arenberg de #ParisRoubaix est bien calme cette semaine par rapport à 2019.

Pour lutter contre la propagation du #COVID_19 #RESTEZCHEZVOUS

@arteteco I loved them too, these quiet roads, the hills, the green fields.

Got another nice photo showing two relaxed squirrels right on the middle of the road, no traffic to worry about... 😜

Great cyclist Alberto Contador is selling one of his racing bicycles, original he rode in the Giro d'Italia 2011 -- with the funds going to help Red Cross covid19 efforts.

At the moment, it's at 19,500 Euros. Way to go. Link to auction below. Photo from original tour below. #xp

#Cycling in Flanders, gret photos.

In many of those small, rural roads, classics like Paris-Roubaix are run each year. Not this Spring, but will be back.

The stone pavement itself is a challenge. The famous "pavé". Slippery when wet, always a bouncy and hard bumpy ride. #xp

#cycling indoors can be fun, specially if you have a good setup with Video to display footage of some nice rides and terrain. 💕🙂🚴🚴‍♀️

A good companion is nice too. #xp

@catstar You are very welcome, thank you for posting all the nice photos!

2013 version, Bass Boosted, 90 second countdown. Great video quality. The cinematography is amazing.

And here is a nice clip of the BBC Original!!!

Quick ass film and music. OMG. Thank you!

#BBC has outstanding work, in many aspects - news, documentaries, film crews with artistic and technical talent. It is a wonderful institution, which many of us not in the UK follow and are grateful for.

The other day I posted here a clip of the very cool, very catchy theme used by the BBC News, and which I enjoy everytime I catch one of the shows (thanks to https://tvmucho.com/ services nowadays)

I came across a NIce Qatar Airways video, done using the BBC News theme, and showing also outstanding filming all over the world.

Including beautiful shots over skies, approaching great world cities, the pleasure of travel.

Enjoy and spread the world, boost appreciated.

#Travel on your chair. Great #Music and #film

@Juju It is really noticeable, when you see a political leader like Ms. Merkel - cool, competent and articulate.

The contrast to the spoiled man-child currently residing in the White House is amazing. We need less like him, for sure, the man is a threat to civilization.

@peterdrake Violet is lovely! Thank you for the photos.

#FF #followfriday

It's been a while I haven't done one of those - but I just noticed a boost on one of my cat photos posts, visited the user's page and liked it. Why not let other #cat lovers know?

* @kernpanik has great photos, his own and others carefully curated, lots of #felines to brighten our days.

* @catpostingbot is a favourite I have followed for months.

Some people might not be able to see his posts (really nice) due to some admins being trigger happy and blocking pawoo.net (due to some of their users posting lolicon content for example).

If you are lucky to have a home in an instance that does not block it, I recommend.

* @cats is my friend Georgia feline photos account. Manually curated, phots are selected for quality. She's got great taste.

* @catstar is a Japanese cat lover with a prolific posting of the kind of images we crave too.

This post's image is borrowed from Catstar's feed, thank you!

Mastodon pales in comparison to Twitter in the Feline Fan Club department, at least for now. 😛

Today, China has flown in 300 ventilators, 33 million masks and 1 million gloves for the NHS. The media really needs to start reporting positive stories of international solidarity.
