The Tully-Fisher relation applied in the infrared appears to be the best global distance indicator presently available for determining the expansion rate and deviations from uniform Hubble flow. In this article recent results obtained using the IR/H I method are reviewed. A Virgo-directed Local Group velocity of about 300 km s–1 is indicated (implying a local value for the deceleration parameter qo ~ 0.05 – 0.1) along with a “best guess” value for the Hubble Constant of 85 km s-1 Mpc-1.
