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.

I do pine for a future where people can and do have multiple bikes for different purposes.

This is how it should be, TBH.

There's plenty of variability between bike types that it's impossible to have "one bike" without some major sacrifice or trade-off.

It would still be cheaper to have a half dozen different bikes than to own a car, so there's that. LOL

In my dreams, my garage would have a row of Varsity bike racks for my own bikes, and then outside where there would be a lawn, would be another row for my guests to use, complete with U locks that they can use and take the keys with them.
