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 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.
