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 just came back from Austria. The amount of cyclists there left me really astonished.

And this in a part of the country that basically purely consists of steep inclines.

Needless to say that nearly a 100% of the bike traffic consisted of e-bikes.

I wish Canada had the cycling tolerance and infrastructure of European countries. I'll never again ride on the road in MB, off-road only. People fucking hate you if you're on a bike. Between the coal-rolling rednecks with their "Fuck Trudeau" stickers and the entitled pricks in their luxury SUVs, you've got someone actively trying to kill you every second you're out there

Is rolling coal legal in Canada? In the US is isn't and you can report people who do it to the EPA for fines

Does the EPA actually follow up on reports?
