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.

Article doesn’t show it in action, the creator’s video is below, building it until minute 6, then rides it for the rest of the video. He never turns the thing.

You're a champion. I was just running down the link to post. Hit the "skip to highlight" button on the video to go right to it in motion.

Its a terrible bike, but still pretty neat.
