Maker Faire Austin 2008

Yahoo! Purple Pedal Project

Yahoo! has just rolled out the first-ever solar-powered, wired, photo-sharing, GPS and geotagging-equipped bike - and it just so happens, it's covered in purple. Five of these bicycles will be coming to Austin for Maker Faire. Equipped with a mounted Nokia N95 camera phone that is solar powered, the Flickr Bike snaps a photo every 60 seconds when the bike is in motion and then shares it on an interactive map that joins all the riders' lives and experiences, as well as to the riders' page on Flickr.
