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.

You must be able to see oncoming traffic very easily with this! But, what happens when you stop at the traffic lights?

Since this is what I think first, you can tell I'm commuter first and a cyclist second :D
