Follow a Purple Bike or a Donkey ?

September 25th, 2008 | by Ozgur Cem Sen |

You may have heard about Yahoo! craze about the purple stuff. If you have not, take a peek at pimped up purple bikes, purple outfits).

There are 20 bikes across the globe that take a picture every 60 seconds while in motion - then the photo is tagged with GPS info, uploaded to Flickr and plotted on a map. You can see the world through the cameras of of those bikes and their riders -let’s call them the YRiders - via the Maplication tool on purplepedals.com.

That’s cool. Very cool indeed.

But there is something way way cooler, imho.

How about following a Donkey around Amsterdam ? Yet better read the blog of its adventures. I have no idea what Asino blogs about, perhaps it’s in Donkeyish, or in Dutch, same difference to me. It’s very entertaining see a Donkey’s eye (or DRiders) view of Amsterdam.

This ?

Asino and Christian

or this ?

I love the bikes, but come on… You can’t beat the donkey :)

This is what the Purple Pedals is about.

    Another thought about Asino vs. Purple Pedals?

    Which is more interesting, Wheels or Legs?

    Two wheels vs. Four Legs (occasionally 5) ?
