these photos are the record of Heather champs day as taken from the handlebars of her bicycle once every minute oh look here she is at cnet headquarters getting ready for this interview as long as the bike is moving and then for a few minutes afterwards it keeps taking pictures it's a slightly different sort of mediated view of some of these experience as they're traveling you know through time and space or you know where they live Yahoo own flickr has tricked out 20 of these bikes with solar powered nokia n95 camera phones there's also plug so if it's days like this where there may not be so much Sun coming in you can plug it in and charge it that snap a picture once every minute and instantly upload them to a Flickr photostream it has gps yes and it has Wi-Fi capabilities while the bikes moving and for a little bit afterwards it's uploading the pictures 20 such bikes were given to Flickr users all over the world to document their daily travels I was a little reluctant at first because there's no way to make it stop taking photos so like you can kind of track me home and track me to work and kind of live online anyway and I Twitter a lot and I blog a lot and I flick her a lot and I'm not that private so I got over it pretty quick san francisco-based ahmed gupta commutes to work in a spike and has already recorded more than 4,000 photos after two weeks in the saddle I three or four friends are gonna have it for a day or two at a time so the bike can kind of experience other parts of San Francisco that I don't normally see smile you're on camera what's the bike name uh barack obama so i can say Barack Obama's my bicycle as much as he loves his bike almut says he secretly wants it to get stolen so we can track the would-be thieves every move through the GPS and the camera and then watched it of course on his flickr photostream I'm seen a reporter Cara sue boy
