I don't worry too much about being bruced, it's part of the fun. It bugs me way more when the game gets stuck on a tag that no one can get.
Getting Bruced never really bothered me. I don't mind waiting either. I ride everyday in all weather so I have a chance to grab a TAG alot. I just wish I had more free time to actually do recreational riding and not commuting to work.

Thanks. It's two blocks from my house! I at least rode across town for the new tag.

Just grab what you can, when you can. Everyone has different riding opportunities. No need to make this a lowest common denominator thing.

I hear you. But when it's Winter and the tag is one of 47 things in the entire country... it sort of kills the game. I try to make the tags fairly universal and easier in Winter than in the normal riding season. Just because I can ride all year, doesn't mean others can. And I'm more likely to be going farther away in the warmer months and be willing to grab something that's more challenging.

I like the current tag, but the nearest one I can find is about 150 miles away. No worry, I'll wait until something comes up I can get, or am willing to cover more distance for.

Oh, I know. I typically try to make them pretty easy. That way, I figure I'll have another shot at it sooner. I don't much get burying a tag somewhere that's near impossible to find. Making it a great ride is one thing. Making someone spend hours on the interwebs to find it is another altogether.

Hell, tell me what's within easy reach and I'll make that the tag when I get the chance, you know?

Funny, I thought this would be fairly easy given that is somewhat open ended.

Sesame street is open ended? It's a trademarked business. Most don't go there when picking logos or wording. The one you used is probably in violation of the trademark.

But hey, I haven't looked for Bert streets or Ernie businesses or a local Sesame street yet.
