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.

Happening around me and one of them is going to be squashed like a bug based on how they are riding them. Editing to add the hilarious downvotes while describing exactly what is happening here lmao. Yeah, the 15 year old ripping into traffic isn't going to be hit by a car at all.
Cars should give way to bikes, especially a kid on a bike.
Should yes but they are acting like kids and have no idea what can happen
15 year old is a kid, unless u are talking about the cars
