* I '''oppose''', for the same reason we don't have a car achievement. Devoting your time to going to a random spot is by no means a waste (we've all learned that), but the same cannot be said about fuel. If you like going on expeditions by motorcycle, I don't want to take your fun from you, but we shouldn't encourage other people to do so. --[[User:Calamus|Calamus]] 05:06, 12 January 2014 (EST) | * I '''oppose''', for the same reason we don't have a car achievement.

* I also '''oppose''', for the same reason we don't have a car achievement -- but unlike [[User:Calamus|Calamus]], I don't think that reason has anything to do with "wasting fuel", and has more to do with the fact that if you hash by car or motorbike, you just sit and let a machine do the work. If you hash on foot or by pushbike, you are putting in effort to get there, and it is that effort that I think makes the difference as to whether an achievement should be gained or not. — <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texhtml">[[User:Benjw|Benjw]]</span> <sub>{[[User talk:Benjw|talk]]}</sub> 06:44, 12 January 2014 (EST) | * I also '''oppose''', for the same reason we don't have a car achievement -- but unlike [[User:Calamus|Calamus]], I don't think that reason has anything to do with "wasting fuel", and has more to do with the fact that if you hash by car or motorbike, you just sit and let a machine do the work.

- As submitter I am of course a supporter of this proposition. Mostly because I use geohashes to "train" for motorcycle license, but also because I feel there's quite a difference between going by car, bicycle or motorcycle. This unsigned contribution was added by DeFre
- I oppose, for the same reason we don't have a car achievement. Devoting your time to going to a random spot is by no means a waste (we've all learned that), but the same cannot be said about fuel. If you like going on expeditions by motorcycle, I don't want to take your fun from you, but we shouldn't encourage other people to do so. --Calamus 05:06, 12 January 2014 (EST)
