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.

Cargo e-bikes are catching on and could curb U.S. car emissions. Canary Media took a test ride to learn more about this emerging form of transportation.

I barely drive at all anymore, love my bike! That might change come winter, but for now I ride waaay more than I drive and have saved a ton on gas. Plus, it's way more fun than driving.

I put about 450 miles on my bike in the last couple of months and maybe 20 on my car. A lot of that isn't even out of necessity, I'm just riding for fun and exploring. Sometimes it's even faster than driving because I don't have to worry about using roads.
