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.

Finland would tell you: try it.

I'm over fifty. I only ride for fun, and riding in snow and ice isn't my idea of fun. I'd rather cross country ski in that case — but I'd really rather just be on a beach vacation in the Caribbean.

But I don't want to sound like I'm poo-pooing the idea, either. I haven't had a bike in over fifteen years, but I really want to start riding again. I miss it. It's the only exercise besides swimming that I really enjoy. I don't mean to be dismissive about how anyone enjoys riding.
