Google announced they have added trike-view imagery to the Google Street Views.

In 2009, Google introduced Google Bikes to pedal around the world capturing pictures of streets where cars could not venture. It has been over a year now and Google has added many of these “trike views” to the Google Maps Street View database.

You can see real examples in France, Dublin and San Diego.

You can try to spot more within the Google Street Views section of Google Maps. Also, if you want Google to take Trike views of your private property, you can let Google know over here.

Here are some pictures captured by the Google Trikes.
