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

That is one ugly bike mechanic...

Can I use a picture of my bike delivering beer to me at the shop I work at?

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!

Hmmm. . .should one bike mechanic comment on the beauty or lack thereof of another bike mechanic?

Mark, I am not sure of the model either. Bought it about a year ago on ebay. It says something like "Superbe Pro" on one chainstay, and has the plain house logo on the head tube. No other distinguishing writing. Is there an online resource to check the model?

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.

You can download the catalogs from the link that Michael provided. I already had them, but couldn't see enough of the bike. A Superbe Pro bike with that paint is probably a 1987 SR1000. The picture in the catalog shows it with graphics, but it was also available in plain white. I've been trying to put together a late Superbe Pro group, but I'm still lacking several bits.

Old tag: My bike (mostly seat and rack visible) at Comrade bikes. I've been a big fan of the shop since they rebuilt my bike after a bad dooring. Happy to deliver some beers there!

New tag: bike at an outdoor café. (And since Michael busted me for next-door neighbor pictures last time, I rode up to Andersonville to take a photo at Vincent!)
