The Chainlink

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

Where the hell am I supposed to find a white picket fence???

I liked it until there stopped being any structure to it.

I would say no particular reason. He's just being Howard.

I am going to look for a road closed sign today on my way home - that is a good challenge.

I think this game is pretty cool, btw

Is there any reason in particular that you dislike this game so much or is it just a diffuse dislike?

Time to declare the game dead due to too-difficult tag.

Ideas for a new tag?

Rode around the loop all morning and couldn't find a single road closed sign.  Lots of police barricades and police line do not cross barriers.  

In Mr Rogers neighborhood!  

Found this one on Elston.  Sidewalk is in lovely condition.

Read this whole thread through yesterday evening and LOL'd my way through the whole thing.  Here's what I found this morning in Ukrainian Village. Old TagNew Tag  - Bike in front of Greasy Spoon

H', can we give you an honorary 'get off my lawn' grumpy old man award for this thread? :)

My bike with "the Spoon".  Sydney will have to go eat there to see if it qualifies as greasy.

New tag?

Your bike with a celestial body (sun, moon, planet, constellation).  (This is the sun.)

Close enough for me.
