micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

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.

That's ridiculously heavy. Okay, mechanics have a legit excuse for not being strong enough to lift bikes.

I think most mechanics are fully capable of lifting 80 lbs onto a stand, but doing it many times a day every day for years without a break seems like a recipe for back injuries.

I can lift mine up with one hand even, but only once or twice lol. After that I'd probably be increasingly unenthusiastic about it.
