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 think the bamboo board could be considered a seat. Plus the additional hand rails and foot rests in the back. I think that law was meant to prevent people from sitting on handlebars or riding on pegs.

And dogs of any substantial size are difficult to get on bikes without training. You could easily fit a Chihuahua or Yorkie on there, but a lab or retriever would be tough and need to be taught to not jump down mid ride.
