What a wonderful thing it is.

You can now identify the miserable bugger who didn't even give as much as a look when they saw you on the opposite side of the road. :mrgreen:


The older I get, the better I was.

    When I first looked I thought it was pretty cool that I could look up anyone I had been anywhere near on my ride.

    Then I got worried that anyone could be looking at my ride and working out where I live and whether there was a nice bike in the photo.

    I could imagine someone cycling round a busy junction getting loads of info from oblivious riders....

    I have since checked my privacy settings!

    yes.

    I was surprised to find that one chap I passed when he was out on a mountain bike was from the next avenue. I thought about sending him a message about either turning off his GPS or editing his rides because i also learned that he keeps said bike in the shed at the end of his garden. I thought the data was faulty at first, until I put on the satellite view and could see the shed. :shock:
