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.

Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

Generally 120 or 150 kg judging from Sparta and Gazelle materials. That’s about the same as in the article.

Now, our weight distribution is a bit less extreme than in the US, But there are definitely commuters using their bike outside the manufacturer specifications out there right now.

To say nothing of toddler moms.
