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.

If you've never John Forester's name before, you're in luck, because Not Just Bikes just dedicated a full 95-minute video to how wrong he was about everything.

I kind of like riding in traffic but you have to have an appropriate bike, fitness, and courage to be able to do it. Proper protected bike infrastructure makes it so much more accessible though. I can hop on a beach cruiser and chill. Children and elderly can get around town without risking their lives. And cars don't have to worry about how a cyclist will react on the road.
