While collecting imagery for its Street View project, the folks at Google realized that some places are inaccessible with the standard Street View Car, so they invented this special trike which can collect imagery from scenic running and cycling trails, college campuses and similar locations.To keep poor Google trikies (trikists? trikers?) from wandering around aimlessly, you can tell them of locations worthy of being photographed. You can nominate locations within six categories: Parks & Trails, University Campuses, Theme Parks & Zoos, Pedestrian Malls (ie: outdoor shopping areas, boardwalks), Landmarks and  Sports Venues (ie: golf courses, racing tracks, stadium grounds). Nominations are open until October 28 and can be submitted over at www.google.com/trike.Check out the video below for a cool introduction to the Street View trike project.
