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

What if the ice cream vendor and cart is INSIDE a building? (Our office building is having their annual "Tenant Appreciation Ice Cream Social" today, and rumor has it the ice cream is being distributed out of a push cart in one of the empty office sites.

I vote for a bona-fide ice cream man like the previous tag. (Maybe because I usually see about 3-5 on my ride home! No fear, Julie, the tag is imminent!)

No worries... I just went up to the suite where our building's Ice Cream Social is being held and there are way too many people crowded around the cart for me to lug my bike in there (even though it's a folding bike!); so I'm not going to attempt it.

...however, I am quite enjoying a little bowl of chocolate ice cream with peanuts and cherries right now, so I'm OK with not getting the tag!  =)

The man in the hat was somewhat skeptical about the photo, but the kids loved it! 

Here is the next tag.... Your bike delivering beers to a local bike shop. Here is Owen and Mike from Blue City Cycles enjoying some fresh ones! Cheers, dudes!

I'm liking both pics of the 1987? Cannondale.  Trying to figure out which model it is, but can't see the details well enough.
