Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

I predict “mag” wheels, or forged aluminum wheels to come back into style. Cast mag wheels were cheap in the 80s, but forged wheels are much lighter, though also much more costly.

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.
