Okay, I have to admit I find Google Street View VERY VERY VERY creepy. I don't know when they did our neighborhood, but our cars are gone (the motorcycles are visible), and they actually got our neighbor across the stret, up the hill working in his yard!!! :eek: The 360 degree attention to detail is REALLY unnerving.

However (and here's where this becomes cycling related) this is possibly the coolest use of GSV ever:

The entire TdF course shot in street view. (I was even able to find the little store in Serre Chevalier where we bought them out of saucissons 2 years in a row!)

I've been touring France for most of the morning.

Oh sorry Zen - you beat me! (I was fastidiously avoiding most TdF related threads because I haven't been able to watch in the morning and didn't want any chance of a spoiler.)
