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

Someone needs to do a photo of their bike next to retired military hardware before they post a photo of the next active tag.

Hey, are we waiting for a new tag, Kevin? Or does someone need to do more bikes next to military stuff?

Looks like the current tag is your bike next to military hardware.

My Beast with retired Artillery piece ( I think it's an old 105mm )New tag is...Bike with a dedicated Military Monument or statue.

OK this doesn't count as a bike : but I cannot resist my dog (Tyrone) tied to a tank at Smith Park

Ok.

Who has the tag and what is the topic/subject?

Is anyone still following this one ?

Just wondering....

Respectfully,

Manny

My bike at a military monument.  This one is dedicated to Walter Truemper (sorry about my crummy photography), a WW2 Navy flyer who got his crew safely off an airplane and then rode the plane to his death in the Pacific.

NEXT TAG: Your bike at a medical facility (any sort of hospital, clinic, doctor's office...your choice)

These pictures were all shot before dawn this morning at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center (VA Hospital) in North Chicago, IL, next door to Naval Station Great Lakes.

Lunchtime tag ride....

Bike in front of medical center

New Tag,  bike with fire Station.  Extra points if you get a fire truck.

I used the Schwinn Madison twice, but I still have a few more to go.

Ed,

 

Is that a "suicide" shifter on your top bar?

SWEET ! Never saw one before. It looks cool !

 

 

Respectfully,
