The AFP fact checkers have also taken on this topic and contacted SHELL. When asked by AFP, a Shell spokeswoman confirmed that the branch was in Stuttgart. This is located at Talstrasse 28.

The Shell spokeswoman further explains that the image distributed is a photomontage. As evidence, the spokeswoman also sent a photo of the real scoreboard from March 15, 2022, on which no bicycle symbol can be seen. ( HERE )

The spokeswoman further explained: "As you can see in the photo, where the photomontage shows the bicycle and 0000, in reality there is a white area." In addition, the bicycle symbol in the currently circulating photo is slightly thicker than the font fuels listed above.

Conclusion

No, there was no bicycle symbol displayed on the display board at the Shell gas station in Stuttgart. This was confirmed by a Shell press spokeswoman and an employee from the area around the gas station. In all photos of the gas station, a white area can be seen instead of the bicycle.
