You know you are a cyclist when......

Just when you thought all had been said on this subject I think I have the
ultimate...

Drum roll....

"You know you are a cyclist when you find yourself leading a group of
cyclists down a mountain at 60km/h on Google Maps."

I work as a cycling guide near Riccione in Italy for 2 months every spring.
Earlier this year we met the Google Car and I made a mental note to take a
peek later in the year. That peek was yesterday and there I am in a red
helmet at the front of the group. You can see three guys on my wheel, there
are about another 8 riders some way behind me.

The name of the road we were on translates roughly to "The Pink Pedal".
Quite apt for Italy given the "pink jersey".
