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 got run over, broke my arm, got surgery, and still love bike commuting. I won't let reckless drivers have the power to affect my lifestyle.

360 camera on my helmet now and live in a more bike friendly place.

According to their study, cycling commuters had:

A 47% lower risk of dying from any cause. A 10% lower chance of ending up in the hospital for any reason.

So statistically, it's safer than sitting on your ass all day, even including the risks.

Where do you live? On Venus? At 100 degrees water evaporates!

Only a small minority of the world uses Fahrenheit... Why wouldn't we automatically assume temperatures are in Celsius?

Where in the world have you ever witnessed hitting 100c?
