Jennifer Aniston hijacks a pedicab in new action film

filed under: Pedicab News — Pedicab @ 11:01 pm June 25th, 2009

Jennifer Aniston put her fabulous legs to good use on set of her new film yesterday when she jumped onto a pedicab.

Filming her new movie The Bounty Hunter in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the 40-year-old’s character Cass hijacks a pedicab as she tries to flee her ex-husband, played by Gerard Butler.

The actress has spent the past two days in a black skirt and tight-fitting vest top as she films scenes for the upcoming film.

In one scene, Jennifer is fleeing Gerard when she hails a pedicab, but after deciding he isn’t going fast enough, ejects the driver and takes control of the vehicle herself.

In another sequence shot on Tuesday, Jennifer changed into jeans for an argument with Scots actor Gerard in a convertible.

The ex-couple blast each other before Jennifer gets out of the vehicle and storms off.

She plays a journalist, the ex-wife of a mercenary, who is forced to go on the run after he is hired to kill her.

Meet Google Street View’s latest weapon: a tricycle

filed under: Pedicab News — Pedicab @ 7:14 pm June 3rd, 2009

Google’s street-level mapping service hit some privacy bumps on its recent UK launch; now it’s going off-road. The Street View Trike packs the same 3D camera usually mounted on Google’s road-travelling Vauxhall Astra cars, but it’s instead fixed on a three-wheeled bike designed to negotiate footpaths and dirt tracks.

It’s a hook-up with tourism agency VisitBritain, which — unlike recent those who complained about invasion of privacy recently — has courted Google to map UK castles, coastal paths, natural wonders, historic buildings and monuments, and sports stadia this summer.

Together, they will poll the public for map candidates in each category, with a second poll resulting in the three locations the trike will visit first. The bike is starting out in Genoa, Italy, but Google says: “Due to operational factors such as light levels and the weather (and what could be a pretty tired cyclist), the trike will only be in the UK for a limited time during the summer.”

environmentally friendly alternative to short-distance travel.

“It’s a great way to see our island and visit restaurants and shops

Bike Cabs. (more…)
