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.

LOL 'Cities making the switch more possible than ever'. Maybe in Europe but definitely not US or Canada.

Jokes aside, Fake Kingston has been making good stride in active and public transportation. This will make it more resilient than other cities of similar size.

From a few youtube source, some US city is definitely going there. I think Carmel city, Indiana is considered a bike friendly city, and i think NYC and Seattle get a mention too.

Yeah they're illegal on the roads where I am, and there are no sidewalks or bike lanes. Also, we get some terrible weather in the winter, it would be really difficult to use year-round.
