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.

Once we hit a critical mass of cyclists, more places will start getting valet bike parking or at least monitored bike parking. It'll happen with breweries and trail adjacent businesses first. My town offers event racks at street fairs and parades and such. Not sure if they are monitored.

We can speed this along by requiring all commercial buildings of a certain size, renovated or newly constructed to have a signed bike room or monitored rack area.

It's a shame that one asshole can ruin the fun for so many people. For $8k+ he could have stolen a single Ram 3500 hemi super duty mega cab instead and only negatively impacted a few people while making the roads safer for everyone.
