Man pretends to ride around the 'world'

The Google Earth Blog (unofficial) reported a few days ago about a CRAZY man who turned his bike into a flight control joystick for the Google Earth flight simulator.

"He claims the pedals serve as the power control, and has built a couple other lever controls for what looks like aerolon (banking) controls."

This seems crazy but perhaps its a cunning way to see the world whilst keeping fit. Having said that, imagine how boring it would be flying over desert and sea (and ice and grass and hills).

In all honesty I have very little to say about this and in fact i'm struggling to find words to make this seem like a viable post. It's just a complete waste of time.
