Yahoo seems to be spreading its wings and travelling to new frontiers. It has recently launched a bunch of bicycles equipped with cameras that would automatically shoot pictures of the different locations the user is at. The project is in collaboration with Flickr and the pictures shot are immediately uploaded to the website and can be viewed by others. The GPS-enabled bikes are currently running through San Francisco and New York and will soon take over Singapore, Denmark and U.K.

The eco-friendly bike includes solar panels to power the camera which takes snapshots every minute, albeit only when the bike is in motion so that you don’t get pictures of the same location. The camera which does all the work is actually a Nokia N95 with a custom Python script. Users with Symbian series 60 can join the game by downloading Yahoo’s ZoneTag software and attaching them to the bike.
