Idk, it's for if you hit someone. They go pretty fast and can easily do a lot of damage to a pedestrian

Private liability insurance is anyway something everyone should have, just make those cover bike accidents and that's it

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.
