It’s no secret social media can sometimes be a dark and depressing place, but every so often you see a post that brightens your day just a little bit.
That’s the inspiration behind Tweets of the Week – a bit of cycling sunshine in the darkness.
With that in mind, we’ve collected our usual top-10 hits from cycling Instagram and Twitter from the last seven days.
We’ve got Peter Sagan doing his thing, Orla Walsh with a heroic save on the rollers, and the cycling kit that never was.
Here are our favourites tweets from the last seven days:
