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.

In New York and other cities where congestion pricing policies, bike infrastructure projects, and car bans have been put in place, cyclists are finding the streets more welcoming.

people are stupid. My favourite is when people try to use disability as a reason why the world should be car centric. I used to live down the street from a guy that bikes everywhere on a hand cranked recumbent. He hated cars because the only way he can drive one is by having custom controls put in which is super costly and people steal accessibility vehicles here. Last year I worked with one and he was amazing with a tig welder too.

No place to park should be the motto
