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.

And lack of critical mass. Biking in my college town always felt pretty safe... except on days that brought lots of outsiders to town. Those people don't know how to share the road with non-cars. Experience of regularly driving around areas with bikes means you get used to thinking about their existence and don't do things like suddenly turn right directly without even turning on a turning signal in front of a cyclist at the bottom of a hill.
