Cycling #ChitChat – Week 17 - Our topics to share and featured posts

_{Photo by Hive account@nozem01}

Happy week, friends!

It’s always a pleasure to be here, bringing new and positive vibes. The cover photo is a well‑deserved recognition of our most loyal participant in the cycling chats. Great photo, isn’t it?

In the previous initiative’s post we was promoting a little photography challenge here — the Cycling‑Photography Challenge or #CPC. Come on, don’t be shy! You only need to add the tag to your post, whether it’s a one‑off entry or one generated through the automated #Strava2Hive service. This way, we’ll create a poll with the participants’ photos and spark new interactions within our community. 😀

Easy peasy — just nick the Monomad trick:

🤓 paste This is my entry for the Cycling‑Photography Challenge or drop the tag #CPC.

Ride it, snap it, share it!

A new motivation here! So many breathtaking landscapes to share and to help promote cycling as a healthy activity — and one that also rewards us with views that people rushing around in cars usually miss.

You’re not going to believe it! 😄 by Hive account@nanixxx - She still wants to take the Strava throne from someone she doesn’t even know, but well… everyone can be happy with their own obsessions. Haha!

Tour, 22 Mile Ride, Garmin Varia Radar, Session and Lunch, Baby Birds, Kit Storage - Tuesday by Hive account@flemingfarm - There are cyclists here who are really deep into birdwatching. And although this post includes many other interesting things and is part of the author’s daily updates, the story of the chicks in their nest is truly charming.

Tour, WIND, 25 Mile Ride in High Winds With Panniers, Autozone, PDC, Car Brake Repair, Soak - Thursday by Hive account@flemingfarm - Three posts in one week! We’re really happy to see your active participation in the community. We hope you’re enjoying it as much as we are enjoying your updates. Those panniers really got me thinking about getting a pair for myself.

Cycling north of the city by Hive account@vesytz - Here we have once again a beautiful selection of photos from a bicycle ride.
