It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

New research shows lifelong bikers have healthier knees, less pain and a longer lifespan, compared to people who've never biked. This adds to the evidence that cycling promotes healthy aging.

My cardiologist made me do a treadmill stress test a year or two ago. My knees hurt for the next month. I told them next time I'll do it on a bike or I won't do it at all.

I couldn't jog half a mile without my knees killing me; on the other hand, I biked more than 500 miles this month.

Yup. I have a treadmill that I really only use for walking. When I try running, it's awful.

It's a shame, really. I'd love to be able to run/jog, too.
