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.

It was more getting exercise while getting to where you were going in a way that is pleasant. That was the trifecta. I would rather lengthen the commute than make the bike less efficient which I did when I had a 3 mile commute. I took a two mile two way detour to a more pleasant route turning it into a decent seven miles which is just about perfect exercise wise especially versus time. Time is a big issue which is why as I get older the electric becomes more tempting because I can't get as far as fast now.
