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.

In America, better put all the money into infrastructure changes that prioritize bikes and pedestrian safety. Make sure that bike routes do not impede on pedestrian routes, and install physical barriers to keep cars from running over both cyclists and people walking.

Good luck selling these kinds of ideas to the people who get their money from automotive lobbyists

Everyone is shitting on this idea but you can do more than one idea at a time. Especially as a way to open people's minds to an improving infrastructure.

in America, if all the money went directly to the politician's pockets, that's the only way it'd happen
