Bicycle geohash achievement
From Geohashing
 |
This user earned the Bicycle geohash achievement
|
The achievement can be claimed when you reach a geohash by bike on the correct day, and take a photo of yourself containing the necessary proof. Using a car, public transport or any other vehicle that is not entirely powered by yourself is not allowed. Monocycles, unicycles, trikes, and scooters may also belong to this achievement, as do skateboards and longboards as long as they are not electric.
If you end up at the same point you started and took a different route back to the start than the one you took to the hash (and the two halves of the route do not touch, cross, or coincide anywhere except beginning and end), go ahead and claim the Tron achievement too: Your bicycle has become a light cycle!
