Google Maps Street View capture... from a bike
I suspect Google is doing this for more reasons than "just because". Imagine all the data they're collecting other than just pictures.

What data are they collecting?

Aside from the cameras, it's already known that they are using range-finding sensors to map building shapes, and I'd be surprised if they weren't recording GPS data to go along with the photos.

Of course they are, that's how they know what street you're on ;)
