Google Bike

Step 6 Up and Riding!

Google bike should be up and running! Pedal to move forward, move the joystick to turn, and press the joystick to stop/reverse. Type an address into the search box to teleport to a new location (the default should be Googleplex, Mountain View, CA, USA) or click one of the presets.

There are lots of variables that can be modified within the bike.js file. Here are some fun examples:

• change gravity (line 41) from 9.8 to 1.62 to feel like you're riding on the moon (helps for getting sweet air!)


• increase acceleration (line 45) to reach ludicrous speed!


• change the camera height and distance (lines 42 and 43) to get a zoomed out view for areas without 3d buildings

Be sure to fully refresh the page after making any of these changes so that your browser does not load the cached javascript file.
