Abstract: 
In this study, we try to combine the indoor bicycle riding with the Google Street View to simulate the outdoor bicycle riding to increase the pleasure of riding. Bicycle riding has been popular with many people and is susceptible to climate, limiting the riding time. Indoor bike riding has no such limitation, but monotonous indoor bike riding is boring. Google Street View is developed by Google and Google Street View can provide horizontal direction 360° and vertical 180° Street panorama, so users can view the chosen city address and the scenery on both sides. Combining indoor bike riding with Google Street View will make the indoor bike riding much more fun. In this study, the Arduino Uno microcontroller is used to detect the direction of the bike handle and the rotation speed of the bike tire and then sends these signals to Google Street View. In this way, we can achieve an interesting sports with virtual Street View.
