me - on it for about half a mile on my commute - I followed the car along for ages!

Heh, but not half the locations in Derbyshire that we're looking to move to (Belper area)

Weird - are you sure - it has my road (an unadopted, very bumpy old road), and seems to have loads of little places like Shottle, Carsington, Blackbrook etc. done pretty thoroughly. Where is it that you can't find?

Joe - are you riding side-saddle or do you have two right legs! 😉

Most surprising place I've found is my son's nursery which is on a farm at the end of a fairly rough track - they drove right into the farmyard to turn round, and you can see the front door of the nursery which is tucked right round the corner.

I wonder how many people are gonna get busted for being in the wrong place at the wrong time (well their cars anyway!)

Years ago a workmate asked for a day off work to watch a golf final. They said no - we were too busy, so he phoned in sick. That night he was on the evening news, front row of the crowd around the 18th hole. Muppet.

Having re-read the thread, I thought I'd give it a go.
and...
* This is amazing....*
I've clicked on google maps, clicked on the man icon and viewed our house.
.....and noticed my bike on the stand outside the garage
....and a blue 'thing' in the garden.
I moved into the next shot where it looks over the garden wall.
and enlarged.....
It's me straight after a ride, wiping my boots off on the grass!!!!!!!!!!

There see, I *do* get out for a ride!

yours somewhat gob-smacked

Hmmmm.... after the euphoria of last night ( I'm easily pleased! ) I've started wondering.....
so now, on the web, is a picture of me and bike, and garage location.
Might this become a new resource for the tea leaf intent on bike and other theft????
every cloud has a lead lining!
