I hope, everybody is already familiar with Google Street View. If not, go to check it out here maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview first.
This feature become real because Google cars with cameras on the roof traveled all over around. Here is a usual Google Street View car, by the way.
Since Google captured and recaptured all major cities in the US and Europe, they decided that they need a new level of access to street images, more flexible, more space efficient. Finally, they came up with the idea to equip a bicycle with all devices they need to make pictures for Street View.
The only difference between equipment of a car and tricycle is a power generator, simply, because bicycles normally don’t have battery.
Thanks to this device, now Google have got an access to parks, squares and small streets, where car couldn’t go; and we,ve got more images on Street View.
