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.

A 12 year old on an ebike killed a 66 year old that was riding a bicycle at night without lights. Maybe set age limits? Is the solution too obvious? Traffic education and enforcement?

Lights at night. Wear a fucking helmet. Idiot.

"Police said there was no white light attached to the victim’s bicycle, and Andrews was not wearing a helmet. The report says there was a light attached to the e-bike, although the boy said he wasn’t sure if it was operating."

Lots of stupid to go around here. From the pic, the kid was on a Super 73.

I see so many riders without lights wearing dark clothes at night. Lights are ridiculously cheap too.
