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.

Isn't this essentially "exercise is good for you"?

Exercise combined with no driving stressors and being outside.

I don't think many people who regularly bike in an urban environment would agree that "no driving stressors" is an applicable description of the activity.

Depends on the specific urban environment. Biking in most German cities is lovely

Such to say none of the stressor attributed to driving.

I'm well aware every stressor I fave riding is cause by drivers.

Come visit the Netherlands :)

Pretty chill with mostly protected bike paths and separate cycles at traffic lights.

I also found Paris quite chill due to the decent drivers more than the improving but still lacking infra.

I actually have biked around both Amsterdam and The Hague. They were both quite a bit better than other places I've been but you could still find some dodgy areas. You're right though, a flat country at sea level that prioritizes bike infrastructure is a pretty nice place to commute by bike lol
