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.

I see so many other cyclists riding with their seat much too low, with their knees practically banging into the handlebars. By far the most common error I see.

2nd would be people in the wrong gear. Going by at a snails pace with their legs all a blur.

Good call, I see both of these. I think the second happens when your legs can't quite push hard enough to take good advantage of the bikes gearing. I was spinning like this for a while until I built up a higher level of push.

Low gear high RPM is the best way to put power down. Target cadence should be about 70-80rpm.
