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.

How much will regulation do if there are a few inquisitive teenage minds working on ways to get around such restricttions?
Regulations would show that the bike manufacturers would be doing their part to increase safety.
Regulations would show that the bicycle owners would have to purposefully go out of their way to make their bikes faster.
Regulations allow us to hold people accountable when the rules are broken or when negligent accidents happen.
