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.

According to the City of Boston 11% of all traffic in the city is from bikes. I think this is also due to the extremely cheap bike rentals that are highly available throughout town and driving here is a fucking nightmare. Now they just need to do something about the truck drivers actively destroying the plastic bumpers protecting the bike gutters and folks might feel safe enough to commute.

I've been playing a bit of Fallout 4 VR recently and yeah, can't imagine trying to drive a car in Boston's streets.
