    Time for a new pointless prize this year.  Anyone looking for another round of a past pointless prize I ran is welcome to host it themselves.

    What is the 2025 Baby on Board game?  How will it work?  

    The quick summary:

    • Snap a photo of a “baby on board” sign/sticker on a car
    • On your Strava ride post: (1) include #BoB in your ride title (2) include the photo
    • Only one BoB photo/point per ride
    • You can only claim a given BoB design/style once
    • Winner is the one with the most #BoB rides (prize TBD…I’ll post later….probably along the lines of my past prizes)
    • Share your photos (if you want to), see what others find, & examples from me to get you started here >> https://photos.app.goo.gl/TxpnwGPYoa2e8qp7A

    More Details 

    What the heck?  Please explain a little more:

    Remember the ubiquitous yellow caution sign “Baby of Board” signs of the 1980s?  Well, this year, snap a photo each time to see a unique design/style of one during a ride, share it on your Strava ride and hashtag your Strava ride title with #BoB.  I’ll let the website keep track of the most #BoB rides, and then I’ll verify the winner by viewing their Strava photos to make sure they were all unique versions.

    What counts as a unique design, BoB sign (in general) and other details:

    • It needs to follow the “XXXX on Board” naming convention (*** limited exceptions if other words but it still fits the spirit.  For example “Baby in Car” would count; and the one I shared in the album that parody’s the “Intel Inside” logo with “Baby Inside”)
    • It can say something other than “baby” on board (e.g. kids, princess, twins, etc.)
    • You can claim more than one “baby on board” if the signs are of different design (e.g. one is the traditional text-only caution sign and another is a graphic of a baby bottle also saying “baby on board”)
    • It can be a sign or sticker
    • It must be on a car/vehicle
    • I’ll add more details/rules/clarifications as needed

    What inspired this?

    I recently moved to Greece, and have been surprised how many I’ve seen on the road here.  Hopefully they are less common in the states and nobody will find one each day 🙂

     Can I share my photo finds here or elsewhere with others?  YES!

    • You don’t need to post here, but you are welcome to share in this thread
    • You can add to a Google Photo Album I created too –> https://photos.app.goo.gl/TxpnwGPYoa2e8qp7A
    • The album has examples on what I’ve found in Greece this Fall

    Let me know any additional questions & happy hunting!!!!  -Kris

    Congrats to @sophie-cw for crushing it this year.  I need to find the best way to contact you for your prize.  $25 gift card or donation to charity of your choice.  I figure that is better than your own baby on board sign 🙂

    • Thank you, @bigredboiler, for sponsoring this game! It was fun looking for these decals even on the coldest, snowy days. I couldn’t believe I found so many different ones and it was interesting to see where I saw them most. You can reach me at sopiesudz at aol dot com. A gift card or donation to the Rockville Bike Hub would be great! http://www.rockvillebikehub.com.
      I don’t have any babies so I’m not sure my own baby on board sign would be helpful…haha!
