It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Have you seen the video of the guy that rides his bike into cop cars parked in the bike lane in NYC? Pretty hilarious.
LOL, no I haven't, but I might have to check later. Got a link or two?

It is, but also isn’t. Dana is actually more bike friendly than other places in CA than I’ve experienced. It’s a coastal town that has quite a few teens riding through. I grew up there and never saw anything like this. Not to say it isn’t possible, but I do also think it unlikely
