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

Cool picture.
I, of course, have no idea where I might find a purveyor of alcoholic beverages.

Beer and wine should be okay.

Old tag: your bike at a liquor store (or wine shop).
New tag: your bike in front of a vacant retail establishment (or in a pinch, any vacant parcel of real estate).

Difficulty level has just been two-folded.... Why "Super"? why can't it just be "super"???

What if our local market is not so "super"... what if my local shop is merely an "unobjectionable market"?
By the way, is that the Tony's Foods store on Elston?

Yep...on Elston

The "locked (difficulty level increase)" requirement is messin' me up on this one! I've passed a few super (and not-so-super) markets recently while riding, but I don't use a lock! (Locks? Folding bike owners don't need no stinkin' locks!!)
Maybe I'll dig a lock out of my basement this week just to get this photo tag and resuscitate this thread.

Hey Jimmy-
The "new tag" was posted by Cameron on February 19th:
New tag: Your bike with a sign of spring. Since winter made a return, sign of spring is open to wide interpretation.Attachments:

OH! My bad... I didn't notice that pic since it was an attachment versus an embedded pic. Thanks for the heads up.
First sign of spring is a good new tag as well. Hopefully I can find a valid scene to grab the new photo tag this week.
