Do all of us have cycle oriented computer wallpaper. At home, I have a view of a Bonjour cyclists( Sylvain Chavanel) as he is about to sprint. At work, I have a Fassa Bortolo cyclists( Pertarchi) as he is being kissed by the podium girls after winning a stage in the Giro..
You know that picture, I think being kissed by the dark haired woman in the white dress would make my day, after the honor of winning a stage.
i'm currently looking for a wallpaper where
"santa is riding a bike.
right now? SAnta! who else... :D
My wallpaper is one of my bikes. One at home and a different one at work.

Mine is lance riding through a field of sunflowers at full bloom. He's small in the pic, and the sunflowers are as far as the eye can see.

Mine is my kids. I love them even more than cycling - and I love my wife even more again. (Am I allowed to say that here?)

Here is mine
I had a picture of Roberto Heras in the golden jersey after winning this year's Vuelta at work, but now it is a computer generated winter landscape as I anxiously await the snow.
At home, I still have a photo of Lance going under the 500m flag at Luz Ardiden from this year's Tour de France that I took while I was up there.

Current dream bike. I find I have to have wallpaper at work of things I want to own, otherwise my motivation level drops. :)
Viggo Mortenson as Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings. Might change it to Gollum.

Mine’s perhaps a wee bit more morbid than bikes.

I've posted this before. Here's mine. I get tired of different ones and keep going back to it. :D I think it's from the 2000 or 2001 TdF.
Mine is a self-made one. It's the world champion stripes going horizontally across the screen with a white background. I made it with paint in a few minutes.
Forgive the bigginess

I haven't been able to find any good cycling ones lately, so I have a photo that a friend took of me at a cross country meet. I'm the kid in the blue with lotsa hair #537.

I have a picture of a Campy Record Carbon rear derailleur. But I have a screensaver that scrolls through all the pictures of my 22.5 month old son who always asks my wife "Daddy bike???" when I'm not home before him in the evening.

I have a very nice whimsical blue donated by microsoft which is dotted with a few delightful icons of dubious value because I never use any of them.
Mine is blank right now, for a while I had some pics of bikes that I wanted, but now "gasp" I'm content with my stable so I switched it to a pic of a woman racing a track bike at a velodrome, beautiful woman, awesome bike, what could be better, but then I just got sick of that for some reason and can't really think of anything else I want on there, so it's blank.

Sometimes I get pictures off of www.webshots.com to use as wallpaper. They have some really good cycling pictures.
Right now, however, my wallpaper is a picture of my grandson.

You chose to look at men urinating all day? Weird.
Here's mine - non cycling though - it's my other hobby.

here at work I have one of me changing a flat that Khuon took on one of our rides, it's meant to keep me humble :) at home it is one of my and my brother doing the STP together.
No bike--a picture of our late cat, Desa. Makes me think of the fun times.

Daffydd...Even though looking at the latest in bike design is sort of pleasing on the eyes; I sort of like your historical retro look..Think I might put that in my jpeg file.

Mine is the same as it was the last time this topic came up, both at work and at home. For those who don't remember, I took this picture when riding the Great Ocean Road last year.

Cool, next time you think about committing suicide, you just look at you screen and choose one of four. :lol:
Not very bikey, but it gets lots of comments at work.

Cyclezealot,
Don't know what you ride or are into, but if you like bicycle history or want to learn more, try http://www.classicrendezvous.com. The photo is from http://www.blackbirdsf.org/index3.html , in fairness to Joel.
I am not retro grouch.

OK, here's mine. I hate big bright wallpapers, so generally like something small like this...easier on the eyes. I got it from: http://www.bikecult.com/works/chainring.html They've got lots of other cool 'rings too :)
