A tag isn't really an actual tag - it is just a picture of your bike in an interesting or well-known location, perhaps with some hints if you think seekers need it. Members here will figure out where the tag is, and go out to take a picture in the same location, with their own bike in a similar position. The finder is then the new "it", and he gets to place the next tag: Continue ad infinitum!

Here's a custom Google Map of a few of the initial tags in the game.

For now, check out the rules:

#1: If you're "it", find somewhere relatively easy to place a tag - the game is about getting people out on their bikes (see #2), not about Googling: Somewhere scenic, well known or for some reason special or interesting will do. Take a picture (no file or recycled photos, or Google Street View, allowed - again, this is about riding your bike!) of your bike in the tag location. Post on SD BIkecommuter.com (you will need an account with a hosting site such as Photobucket, Picasa or Flickr to host your photo).

#2 The first finder (the one who posts a picture of his bike in the correct location) is the new "it", If you are not first (you have been "Bruced"!), post your photo, anyways (see #3).

#3: "As "it", you have 48 hours to place a new tag. If you don't, the honor of being "it" transfers to the second finder/poster. It is highly encouraged to post the new tag quickly and in a way that is locationally diverse: In short, if you don't have the time or inclination to place a new tag quickly, don't claim one in the first place. And try to go the extra mile to place the tag somewhere different than the neighborhood you found it in.

#4: You need to ride your bicycle to and fro, and include it in your tag photo!

#5: To keep the tag moving, pls. limit yourself to the City of San Diego: Even then, placing a tag in San Ysidro or Rancho Bernardo may be funny, but not fun!

#5: The location of a claimed tag should not be revealed until a new tag has been posted.

#6 (edit): The photo needs to be physically posted to the board - a URL to it is not sufficient for a catch. A new "tag" photo has to have been taken after your "claim" photo - no file photos of any kind allowed!

#7: Only tag owner shall provide tag location hints.

#8: No whining!

Get it? If not, read this thread for how it is done, and then ask here!]]> San Diego Bike-o-Rama http://sdbikecommuter.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=524&Focus=28214#Comment_28214 http://sdbikecommuter.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=524&Focus=28214#Comment_28214 Sat, 12 Mar 2011 19:07:57 -0700 An.dy

The rules do not say anything real specific about hints, other than for the poster to give hints if he or she deems it necessary: The longer it takes before somebody gets the tag, the more needed it becomes to give hints, of course.
