Caught by Google
Guys at work were looking at Google Streetview when I vaguely remembered having seen their car go by while I was out for a ride last summer, after five minutes of looking, there I was. What the heck am I doing with my arms .

Here I am, caught from a bit of a distance. I actually went right by the streetview car but on a section of street that was photographed at a slightly different time, so this was about as close as I appear on camera.
I'm doing the stiff-arm as well, oddly enough.
I was commuting to work, hence the panniers. My seat bag is probably hiding inside one of them.

That's cool! The most I've ever found is my car parked in my driveway only a few months after I moved there.
