Google have updated the Street View function on Google Maps to include most of the UK's roads. Have you seen yourself or your mates on it? If so, let us know and we'll put together a story about the top images.

nope but can see my mum plus freddy (puppy) plus one of the neighbours who is in his normal place of watching the world go by, leaning on his gate...0 -
My god... They've even been down the little unnamed road I live on! Must have been late last summer, looking at the pics.
:shock:
It must be quite a tall car, or a camera on a big stick, because it can see over our walls.

Linsen, ITBoffin and I are all on there on a ride near Yatton, unfortunately they seem to have decapitated Linsen.
EDIT
The car caught us up a little later to give Linsen her head back"Impressive break"

I spotted myself, not on a bike though, but I've been immortalised by Google all the same!
LIT: IT's a regular car, but with a 4 foot pole, with a camera on top....on top.
Also, they say 'Google' on the side, that's how I knew where to look for myself.0 -

Seems that not every time you get snapped they use it, could have something to do with the hands in the air victory salute I gave themRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.

Jealous that I have been decapitated?Emerging from under a big black cloud. All help welcome0 -
Where I work
My car is there. We go out for a 3 0'clock coffee. So that's probably me + colleagues drinking coffee talking shite. Sorry there's no bike content...
@Attica, how did you find yourselves? There's just loads of images you _might_ be in?0 -
I distinctly remember where we were when the car came past - simples
The second link is where it must have done an about face because it caught us up again a minute or so later."Impressive break"

:shock:
The one I was cycling behind and then in front of a couple of years ago was a Smart car (i think) with a camera on a pole on top.
Considering that I did follow one, and overtake it, I'm guessing I'm on there somewhere in Central London, but can't remember where it was - somewhere on the Baker street area probably - but not necessarily.
I can't find anyone I know on there - not even their cars as everyone I know with a car - including me (I still had one two years ago) - has off-road parking.0 -

Ahh, that would make sense.
I'm not entirely sure that I'm OK with this. We have high walls for a reason. :?0 -

Are all your stalkers becoming problematic?
On a more serious note, it's probably worthwhile/interesting having a read around http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/05/google_street_view_suit/0 -
Cannot find myself despite the thing passing me so thought i would look for local talent out on the bikes :evil:
Didn't find anything but did notice the weather changing very very fast on top of the Bwlch

Yep, that's it.
Have reported the images, thanks for the link, we shall see what happens...0 -
My work site is on it. The car must have gone round the (private) perimeter road. Not sure what site security would have made of that if they had realised.
A friend of mine is visible walking around having a fag.0 -

Looks like you were about to go straight across the 370 when RH turn is the only option :roll:I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -

I reckon this is as close as I get. I think mine is the green car by the boathouse, so there's a roughly 50% chance that this is me in the pointy boat thing.0 -

If you zoom in it shows you wanted by the traffic police and fashion police

Yeah, thanks for that, been done to death on the Social Rides thread already.
By the way the link in your sig doesn't work AND I don't believe that's your bike either - should I be calling the police too?"Impressive break"
