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'm trying to get the tag game going again. It's Spring and I'm finally "enjoying" riding again after a cold winter commuting where all I want is to get from point A to point B as fast as possible. I didn't know Dan, but he appears to have had great friends who thought highly of him. So, in honor of Dan's love of karaoke, below is my tag of a Karaoke bar - Shoe's - that Dan may have frequented, but I have absolutely no idea. If this is a good tag, I'll post a new tag asap.

Game on, indeed! New tag - a picture riding your bike with a sign of Spring/nice weather. I took this picture Friday morning on a lengthy detour from my commute. Some days it's just too nice and you ride right by the office. You can either take the pic on your bike (be safe!) or have someone else take it.

Awesome!!!! The thread is back alive!

This should be an easy one. If my hand were healed, I'd ride and take a picture of spring time riding.

Come one, people, I know y'all are riding! Let me live through you while I'm healing.

Spring and nice weather are not necessarily synonymous. Here is a picture of me riding while melted snow falls from the sky. A very springtime activity. Although, 3-speed bicycles are always in season...

If approved I will submit a new tag.
