Our intro and Q from @DurableAce:
Q1. Where are you posting from today? Do you have cycling-related wallpaper or a lock screen photo on your phone? If you do, what do you have and why? Answers with photos if possible please 📷️
A1. Thanks everyone. Some nice wallpapers and stories. Thanks for sharing. To answer my own question about my own wallpaper and lock screen images...
My lock screen is of Mathieu van der Poel wearing the yellow jersey at the 2025 Tour de France, on a road through a field of wheat or tall, dry grass. The Tour de France generates beautiful images taken by skilled photographers as it winds around France. I love how the scenery under summer skies, colourful jerseys and bikes create opportunities for striking photos.
My wallpaper shows a close up of my frites and mayonnaise, taken at the Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Hoogerheide, The Netherlands 🇳🇱, in 2014. It reminds me how cycling is cultural and about more than pushing pedals. And how nice frites are! 😋

I must admit I am tempted to change to a recent world tour picture.
My screen on my desktop is filled with a shit of the entire TdF peleton. I think it was from gantry or similar as it is close but looking down. On the old Bike Forums we did a "how many can you name" with a few people getting a clean sweep.
Once i am back at the office will post it
