Today, Google announced that their Google Maps’ Street View feature has been expanded to include Portland.

We now join 15 other cities who are lucky enough to have our every move watched by Google’s cameras.

A reader (thanks Craig!) sent me a link to the Street View of the Hawthorne Bridge and, lo and behold, there were a couple cyclists riding across it.

Street View is an amazing (and controversial) feature that lets you view ground-level, 360 degree views of streets. You can even pan, zoom, and rotate the images.
