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.

Things like this do look interesting (velomobile version?) but its a shame how they are always so expensive compared to a normal bike.

Yeah, I have a Rover 8 I picked up after I broke my arm so I could still ride while I was healing, and even used it was $800. It is fun though! Just be careful around corners, trikes tip easy, even this low to the ground.
