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.

Being that low to the ground seems like it would be a bit suicidal on American roads without a totally protected bike lane. A lot of our ridiculous SUVs would have a bumper right about skull height to that thing.

Yeah there is a reason recumbent bikes have giant flags on the back. No one can see you that low. Especially with the newest giant monstrosities on the road

I'd love something like this if I weren't sure it would be stolen.

In case you run into a tank that gets a little too ornery on your morning commute?
