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

Good job echo. I wish I'd had a helmet cam last night, as a deere intercepted me, going flat out crossing the road (barely) in front of me. I was on the brakes, luckily it kept going at full speed and didn't try to slow down. I don't think I could have stopped and I'd probably still be laying there if it had hit me.

Just to clarify, it was a deer not a John Deere. Quiet night tonight, only saw 5 lowly rabbits.

That's not really a fair tag this time of year in the northern hemisphere and during a heat wave...

I actually have a pic of my bike in the snow, although it's not a drift. Of course it was taken a few years ago in the winter.

CAN I use the same pic? Pic with Lee Diamond's arm and a ball jar of moonshine... I just assumed file photos were off the net, not of your bike kinda deal
