Google has added to their Street View transportation fleet: a tricycle. Dubbed "Google Trike," the pimped out pedaling three-wheel bike goes where cars just can't. Or shouldn't, anyway.
The idea was conceived by Dan Ratner, a mechanical engineer/mountain biking enthusiast at the Mountain View, CA search giant. Ratner has already photographed LEGOLAND and the Arastradero Open Preserve.
There's a lot of land to cover out there, and Google is taking nominations for the next place in the U.S. to be photographed with Google Trike. Simply go to http://www.google.com/trike to make your nomination for one of the following categories:
- Parks & Trails
- University Campuses
- Pedestrian Malls (e.g., outdoor shopping areas, boardwalks)
- Theme Parks & Zoos
- Landmarks
- Sports Venues (e.g., golf courses, racing tracks, stadium grounds)
Nominations are open until October 28. Google will select a winner in each category and then open the finalists up to voting by the public.
