Personal Safety: A reminder for forum participants

[shootingstar]

maybe TE could delete the "getting to know you thread" since it contains a lot of personal info and people forget to be discrete since it seems like such a safe environment,

or allow people to edit their own profile.

And not ask the question about posting personal pic.

I appreciate this thread on knowing at least which geographic area and age range the woman is in. It's helpful to know vaguely the general membership composition of TE forum group. I agree that exact location details on ride routes etc. is not critical. More about the weather conditions, grade, distance, terrain is more meaningful to us as cyclists when we don't know each other's specific geographic location details.

I have requested people /newbies who might sound a bit "strange" to go there to introduce themselves. Sort of a minor accountability thing to our group.

Thank you. I try to be discrete, but this a good reminder.

didn't think I was guilty of giving out too much info then I read TxDoc's msg.

hmm. realized I have posted my route on bikely.com and shows where I start and end. AT MY HOUSE. Guess better go and delete the route.

Thanks

You might be able to keep it, just make it private. Then you can load it, or send a link to folks you know. That's what I do on Motionbased

Yep, I tend to put rides on Bikely that start from a major intersection or other obvious starting point a couple of miles from my home. I know how to ride there from house.

And on Plus 3 any ride that I start from my home I list as "private".
