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.

My take was more that cycling is one of a few different ways of getting around that was demonstrably healthier for you compared to non-active methods of transport like driving.
At the end of the day, they're all good regardless of which one may or may not be "best" (in other words, anything is far better than nothing).
Also, to be fair, cycling is way faster than walking or running (sometimes it's even faster than driving, especially when you factor in parking+traffic).
I wasn't arguing that cycling wasn't superior for many reasons, only that I didn't like that they didn't quote the specific statistic supporting the claim that cycling was better than walking. I do notice they left out jogging.
Someone else pointed out that there is a graphic in the article that shows cycling>walking; a graphic you don't see if you view websites in text-only mode. I'd have liked to see the supporting statistic in accessibility-friendly text, and not hidden in a graphic, but it is there.
