2012: Bike 180
It's back, and I'm back to doing it again after taking a break last year. Yup, Bike 180 Version 2012: http://www.flickr.com/groups/bike180-2012/So if you don't know what it's about, it's a pictorial log for every day in 2012 that you rode your bike. Here's how it works:
- Snap a pic during your ride of you, your riding buds, or your bike/part, as long as there is something bike-related in it,
- Add it to the 2012 Bike 180 group,
- Tag it with "2012bike 180" or "bike180",
- Add a title or description that includes what ride # it is, e.g., if it's your 11th ride of the year, you can do something like "Bike 180: Day 11"
To keep the number of entries and volume manageable, just add one picture for each day you ride, no matter how many rides you did that day. This forces you to pick your best picture.
One of my favorite things of doing these is being able to look at the pictures and more easily remember the ride. Another is that it eventually makes it necessary for you to be more creative when taking pictures during rides, unless you don't mind that they start to all look the same or care what the pictures look like. That said, there is no mandate to be creative or fancy. It's your legacy ;)

Previous years' Bike 180s if you want to see how it's done or want some excellent examples:
Oh yeah, why's it called "Bike 180"? When I started them in 2009, I was always getting asked how much I biked. I had no clue because I didn't keep any logs and I figured that taking a pic on each ride would be easy. The "180" part came into play because it was a nice round number and a goal that represented (almost) half the year.
Anyways, I've rambled too much. You ramble on the bike instead, join the 2012: Bike 180 group, snap a pic, submit it, and have some fun!
