Google's Street View trike goes where no Street View has gone before

Google has built Street View into a fairly comprehensive collection of images from city streets around the world. The problem is that Google's iconic street view vans can't get into every tight nook and cranny. That's why the big G is introducing a new camera-equipped vehicle: the Street View Trike. The trike is coming to a walkable space near you, if you nominate your favorite spot.

The trike is actually a bike with a camera-equipped cart attached to it. It looks a lot like one of those ice cream carts, except that instead of ice cream, it's carrying thousands of dollars of photo equipment. Locations the trike has already visited include Legoland, California. Check out the video after the jump for more fun trike action.
