In memory of @pla as a pleasant regular in this small and loosely connected #cycling community and his positive attitude.
Tbh the news has left me more emotionally troubled than it probably should have given the fact that we never met in person.
Thx @claudiom for starting this.

For @pla.
Pic 5/6, early morning bike tour on the day of the Berlin marathon (this #marathonride has become a ritual).
@beni Thanks. It's been my commuter and touring bike for 7 years now, I've never owned a bike for that long.
@beni That's awesome. I hope to travel to Iceland in the near future (preferably by ship). This year I will escape for a few days heading north to the Baltic Sea.
KawaiiPunk @encarsia I like you attached the yellow bag in the crooked forest pic. Is a tent?
@encarsia Also, nice brooks saddle!
@kawaiipunk That is the sleeping equipment with rain cover. I was on a five days tour in a sparsely populated region so I did some wild camping without any tent.
@sullybiker The olympic park remained quite undamaged and was reconstructed afterwards. Back then the area was located at the periphery of the city so maybe it would have been a pointless target (if one can say some thing like that about bomb war...).
@encarsia Interesting. I saw some aerial footage of Berlin in the early post-war days and it just looked apocalyptic. Devastated. I'm glad the city is alive again.
For @pla.
