To fan the fires of the unrepresented cyclists, I've asked some friendly, non-bicycling stand ins to post from 'approved' states to make you guys feel more inadequate riding in 'non approved' states.

Western SD has no resemblance to east river.

I live in a state of bewilderment and confusion, but since those choices weren't there, I chose California.

So ... just a little question ... why do you assume that the posters here are from the US, and from those States specifically?
