Purple Pedal Power is a visualisation tool giving you a bike's-eye-view of the adventures Yahoo's Purple Pedal bikes go on.
Each bike is equipped with an onboard camera which each minute uploads a geotagged photo to the bike's flickr account. Using this tool you can relive a bike's journey over a day. PPP originated from my entry at OpenHackLondon 2009 which won best Flickr hack.

Nerdy Stuff
None of this would have been possible without the following technologies...YQL - the query language for the web, Flickr's API, OpenLayers, jQueryUI and the bikes themselves from Yahoo! and Uncommon Projects
Or, choose one of these rides...
