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.

It is pretty reductionist. Automobiles are a fun hobby, but there are unfortunately places where infrastructure decisions make them a requirement for transit.

Yes. And in other places bikes are a viable mode of transport. That's why "bikes are a hobby" is pretty reductionist.

Are there even hobby use cases for bikes? I've only seen them used for transport and sport; never are a hobby.
