A quick post and a few pictures.....
Ian is growing like a weed. The 24" wheel Specialized is getting a little small. During the ride, raised his seatpost to max height and it's still a bit low. I may swap out for a longer seatpost and stem to get through the summer.
Spotted the Google Bike photographing the Burke-Gilman Trail. Look for updates on Google Earth in a few months. The post contains cameras facing 360 degrees. Pretty wild.
Google Bike pilot said he was from San Diego and gets paid to ride 10 - 20 miles a shot. Sounds fun until you hear the rig weighs a few hundred pounds. The red item you see in the rear is a running generator. Did I mention it was hot today? 80+ degrees. This kid is working for a living.
Google bike dude was a 250-lb. clydesdale when he started that job a week ago. Now look at him.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what is it about you that attracts all these google street view camera vehicles? You saw one of their trucks over by REI, right?
ReplyDeleteI did spot the Google Car in Seattle once. Post on roof with same camera set up.
ReplyDeleteChecking Google Earth later, I didn't make the cut. My car however, sitting in a parking lot did.
I'm so proud....
