i agree that especially the location but also age helps to put comments into perspective.

i personally don't see why others wouldn't fill out this info, but maybe they have reasons?

but riders from different countries and different areas of the US can have very different perspectives on many things relating to cycling b/c of differences in the local environment, weather and cycling conditions... i should know as i've lived in 3 (kind of 4) cities in Texas, Oregon, Massachussetts and Germany all post age 18 and been an active cyclist in each.

so for those of you without a place, please fill out the basic info unless you really have a good reason not too.
