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.

My main is my bicycle (non-electric). It's an upright style with chain etc. enclosed and a rear rack, ideal for my use case of trips into the city, shopping runs, and general exploration. I carry straps just in case I buy something bulky that needs to be secured to the rear rack.

Backup is public transportation, wish it was cheaper though... The new air conditioned electric buses are nice, especially the chinese Yutongs with vinyl wood flooring and dark grey interior cladding.

Last resort for me is a taxi
