Sure Google added a flight simulator to Google Earth last year. But what fun is a flight simulator if you have to use your mouse and keyboard to navigate? Well, some. But not as much fun as flying through Google Earth while riding a bicycle, E.T.-style.
Want to build your own bike-powered Google Earth flight sim? Here's what you need:
A bike or other unit that you want to use for navigation/exercise
Way too much free time on your hands
The flight simulator lets you know what it would be like to pedal your bike through the sky. Or you could just take your bike outside and figure out what it's like to pedal through your neighborhood.
