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.

Yeah, my bike commute is usually faster and e-bike is always faster because I don't have to fuck with parking: My bikes fold up under my desk too, so I don't even worry about bike racks (which is good because my building doesn't really have one).

I have wondered about getting a folding bike sometime, they usually cost a bit though and I already have a regular bike.

Would recommend! If you want an inexpensive folding bike check out the Tern BYB or Zizzo's offerings if you're in the US. If you want something like a Brompton, they're still expensive but check out brompnots like Takachia, Cranston, Mint, etc.

I have a Priority Folder, it's a little pricier, but it has a belt drive and internally geared hub, so it's significantly lower maintenance than most other bikes.
