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.

Fat bike with studded winter tires, tubeless is so nice for winter work commute though. I use mine with cheaper tires in the warm season but if the stars align I'll be getting a lighter bike for the warm seasons instead because the fat bike is just really damn heavy. The only issues I have with pedestrians are the sections where people regularly walk the bike lane even though there is a double wide sidewalk as well, and the bike lane is flanked with plants so it's not even more convenient.
