Bicycle Photo Tag game

The point of the Bicycle Photo Tag is to reproduce a similar photo of an object or place that can be found in many different locations around the world. Much like a scavenger hunt, examples include specific street signs, a railway crossing with train, yourself at a toll booth with reciept, etc.... Get creative

Rules are easy...

1. Find a SIMILAR (ie; Not The Same, Different) tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here.
2. Upon posting your new tag, the tagger is responsible for specifying what it is in the photo that must be reproduced. Be specific, but not so specific that no one else will be able to play because we couldn't find another pink school bus.
* Try to place the tags in interesting locations, objects or places that could probably be found in at least the majority of the planet.
3. Tag must be: Common amongst all human habitation. Dirt is ok, but remember most of us are on street bikes. We don't want to exclude those who don't like to get dirty (wimps).
4. The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose (bruced).
5. One tag at a time within thread. File photos are NOT permitted. You gotta ride to play this game.
6. No whining There are plenty of folks here that will help you understand the rules
7. The holder of the tag determines if the tag has been duplicated and acknowledges it by posting on the thread. (Surrendering the Tag)
8. No Pre-Arranged Tag Handoffs / Linear Tag sequence
9. Last but not least, should the tag be soo ridiculous that no one is able to reproduce it, it can be voted down if a majority of the active participants feel necessary.



Remember, the point of this is not to win the game, or get a better picture than the guy who just "bruced" you, the point is the ride. On that note, if someone tags a post office. Rather than get out and ride a block to my local post office, I might ride an hour or so, out to the historic post office a few neighborhoods over.... Make it interesting.

So the first tag is your bike in front of a house with Xmas lights

Howard, my post specified that the tag needed to be a sculpture by CLS. I don't think your submission qualifies.

The tag is still up for grabs!

I intended to take my photo at Bang! Bang! Pie Shop today and completely forgot, so I took this when I got home. (We own one of these sculptures @ my courtyard. I think my neighbor is a friend of his.)This bike's my "new" project. Riding it in the wind today was kind of a bear, but I'm trying to get some first impressions of it in it's pre-rebuild state.  

Next tag is bike in a garden. If this is not okay that they were taken POST ride, someone else should jump in. I'm barely thawed out.

Thanks! I like his guy's work and I'm glad to see he's getting up in Chicago.

Mike is that an '87 Schwinn Le Tour?

Gerry, it is a LeTour, i and '87 is a good guess. Actually, it's originally my daughter's bike which we keep around as the family loaner bike. Wouldn't mind finding another one that was more my size, it was one of Schwinn's better efforts.

I rode to the Midwest Buddhist Temple on Menominee yesterday. No Buddha. Well, no visible Buddha anyway. I felt his presence, and was infinitely cognizant of the Buddhist belief that everything is interconnected - every object, being, and concept is connected to what caused it, and what is around it. At the same time, for purposes of a Photo Tag game, I acknowledge that this epiphany has limited value.

So today, I rode to The Funky Buddha Lounge. Perhaps a bit less "pure" in its interconnectedness, but for purposes of the Photo Tag game-just what the Buddha ordered.
