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.

Do you really think the average American would pedal to work? Most of them are already upset they won't have a giant metal box around them at all times now.

Lots of us do every day, just saying. Not the average though (yet), but maybe one day...

If it were feasible for me I would, but the only way to get to my work is 15 miles of highway or 20 miles of super busy city roads that intersect with freeways
