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.

Helmets won't protect against getting hit by a car. However they will protect against a lot of other things that can go wrong. Do not like perfect be the enemy of good.

They'll protect me from myself.

I've crashed into a median before and did a head-over-heels flip on my bike before. A helmet was really useful then.

What we need is a full body car resistant helmet!
