Chased the Google Street View car on my bike today

[luv2climb]

As I was climbing eastbound on Fair Oaks Blvd towards New York Ave in Fair Oaks, I saw the Google Street View car traveling southbound on New York, so I decided to have a closer look. My helmet cam was recording, so I got video of it on several side streets off of New York Ave. When it went back northbound on New York Ave the car pulled over, so I looked at the driver and pointed at my helmet cam so they would know why I followed them down several dead-end streets.

In a few months you're going to need to go look at those maps. You, too, can be famous like me!

A couple Summers ago I was on a late afternoon 6 mile run and saw the Google cam car several times. So I looked at the street-level map of the route when it was up and about crapped myself when I saw it.

For some reason it makes my gut look preggers, though. I think my top must have poofed-out, or something. Very odd.

That's cool! You're right, it does make you look pregnant. When I looked at the pic I hadn't read the rest of your post yet, so I thought to myself "You go girl!"

I can't wait until they update the maps. If I find myself on there I'll be sure to post the pics.

It's funny...I'd already had my tubes tied years before they got that shot. Everyone who's seen it has said "your belly doesn't look like that!" Camera didn't add 10#s, it added 6 months!

I think it was maybe 6 months later that I discovered they'd updated the street-level cam stuff, so you may not find anything for a while. I saw the car 3x during that run, so I was pretty suspicious that I'd see myself somewhere on the route.

Thought Kirsten was pregnant in the google pic. And I thought OMG, she's still jogging with her belly so big

I saw a video of that while searching for other videos of people following Google vehicles. I was hoping to find another cyclist chasing down a Google car. What a nice surprise it was to find out that they actually have a bike too!

I would love to ride that around!

I want a job driving the Google car.

Wow. I've never actually seen the Google car. Until now.
