You know the streetview-car, but do you already know the Flickrbike? Take a bike, bundle it with a GPS device, and a camera that takes a picture every 60 seconds and automatically geotags them and you can track the life of your bike, and where you’ve all been with it. Flickr now sent such a bike out to various cities in the USA, Europe, Asia and Oceania and you can follow them on Yahoo’s new Start Wearing Purple-site.
Purple isn’t exactly my color, but I’d definitely love to get my hands on such a bike … as long as I don’t have to pay the bandwidth bill for the automatic uploading ;-)
