Do we know who this is? Woodbridge, Suffolk.

The woman should be easily identifiable because she's got three legs.

So how does this work? As it is doing my head in. A bit.

If you go to Streetview, just outside Seasalter you will no longer see His Leggship, Adrian and myself as the photo has since been updated

However, if you go to the link in this post it'll take you back to September 2009 when the three of us were photographed.
What's more, it looks like you can 'rove around' the 2009 imagery to your heart's content, and its not until you 'Zoom out of streetview' that you are bought back to the present day Google earth.
Does this mean that there are multiple, historical versions of Streetview running concurrently in the ether?
Accessible only if you have the original link....
Does that make any sense?

In streetview, in the top corner it tells you when the photos were taken. If you hover your pointer over it, it'll become clickable and give you a menu where you can choose all the photos.

Neat, thank you.
As a google maps classic user I wan't aware of these extra bells and whistles - thanks to which I've also managed to track down my 2008 appearance in Westow Hill, Crystal Palace.

|Her name is Peggy.

Thank you, that's my coat - the coat of arms.

Three revolving legs? She must be from the Isle of Man.

Just seen this thread. The other day I'd 'wondered who this chap onna bike was', heading up into Birdlip (Cotsw) - as it was the first person I'd really seen on gmaps without their face burred.

Judging by the lean and hungry look, I'd go for Cassius.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #35 on:** 30 March, 2015, 10:05:45 am »

Anyone would need a lean and hungry look to get up there (assuming he's come straight up from the old Cheltenham road, rather than from Stroud).

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #36 on:** 30 March, 2015, 07:11:52 pm »

Here he is at the bottom of the hill (Cheltenham end). You can see that climbing is rejuvenating.

no-one I recognise. If you go a bit further and turn back, as it were, they have numbers on their bikes so you could try to xref date with events (assuming there's a record of who's what number for the event on that day).

they've redone my street. you can now see the auk sticker in my window (and the cat, and the rip the cat made in the curtain)

How not to wear a helmet.

How do you wear a helmet if you have a beehive hairstyle? Or a mohican?

I'm there now, but not on a bike...

Pingu · « **Reply #42 on:** 07 November, 2015, 06:17:04 pm »

Col d'Ornon

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #43 on:** 07 November, 2015, 07:16:16 pm »

That's wonderful! I count 11* cyclists and no other vehicles. All roads should look (something) like this!

*Probably some of them are repeats of each other, Streetview seems to do that sort of thing. But certainly not all of them.

A very CTC-looking rider in darkest North Yorkshire: https://goo.gl/maps/R9th88Wpz1T2
