The Chainlink

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

I think our goldfish Nestor enjoyed the change of scenery while this photo was being taken!

Next tag: Panda Shot while on the bike.

What’s a Panda shot?

A Panda shot is a picture you take while you ride your bike–with some part of you or your bike in the shot. It’s a self-portrait, so to speak, of the moment

Never thought I'd see a fish on a bike. Great tag!  A biking selfie it is.

Really? This would be a difficult enough tag to replicate for a city dweller. For chainlinkers in outlying areas or suburbs-virtually impossible.

Disc golf and military stuff was virtually impossible for me...

Lots of chainlinkers work downtown and it could be a super-fun lunchtime "errand."  Board members can count.

How about a member of Active Alliance? Does it have to be an employee?

I'd like to see it modified to "Your bike with anyone doing a Captain Morgan imitation."

Can ATA staff or Board members submit a self portrait with bike?

I like this one!  Crap, I should have take more photos of my bike with ATA employees or board members.  Oh wait, I have two on my block!  Let's see if either are awake yet :))

Sure, but then they'd be playing the game, not you! And there are many on the Chainlink...so...who knows?
