It is impossible for matter to travel at the speed of light. However, a computer can simulate what it would look like. Traveling close to the speed of light warps your perspective of space and time. In order to put this spacial warp in perspective an exhibit was made at the Einstein Year 2005. In this exhibit people could ride a bike to adjust their speed. As they approached the speed of light a screen in front of them would show how their perspective changed. Keep in mind this computer simulation just shows the spacial warp and doesn't actually simulate the fast speed, otherwise the biker would fly through the town in nanoseconds.
Here is a video of the computer simulation. For more information, check out the explanation about the video at its original location.
