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.

Strangely, the benefit of wearing one backward (on your chest) is a little bit better than wearing it on your back.

That's fascinating and makes me wonder if wearing both at once was tested. I can't imagine it'd be comfortable though.

They definitely did try both but I don’t know if anyone was ever cheeky enough to wear that setup in an actual race.

Currently they’re putting race radios in the front, centered side to side, during TTs. Rumor has it that the UCI has already had to tell a couple of teams to stop using extra tape and stuff to embiggen the radio lump.
