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 could do it. It’d take me an hour (or longer) for what is a fifteen minute drive, and would require me to ride on some very busy roads during rush hour, but I could do it. Will I? Absolutely not.

Would you do it with safe infrastructure? plenty of people drive that long to get to work.

Absolutely. If I didn’t have to worry about some idiot in his giant-ass truck running my ass over for a kick, I’d gladly do it. I love my e-trike and wish I had more cause to use it.
