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.

This Canadian athlete broke this record on a track in Tasmania. This suggests that she had to travel to Tasmania to do this, but also ship her competition penny farthing. Its possibly too expensive for air freight, so she might have had to ship it ahead of time. This means that she would have been without her competition penny farthing for the days/weeks needed to ship it. Being the world record holder, I have to assume she has at least one other penny farthing she uses for training while her main one is out of reach.

So here she is owning at least two penny farthings, while you and I are sitting here like chumps owning zero. What are we doing with our lives?!

I have too many safety bicycles to fit a penny farthing in my home
