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.

No, just one lane each direction, people driving 80+km, a line on the side, then 2cm over it's a ditch. Lots of heavy construction and landscaping trucks on the road too. We don't have sidewalks. You can't ride bikes here.
I ride almost everywhere, but that does sound quite risky. Plenty of spots like that in the US as well when you're in the countryside, unfortunately.
The US countryside isn't nearly as dangerous as the outskirts of US cities. That's where I drive. I wish I could bike it. Too many memorial bicycles on the sides of the road.
It's tough everywhere I guess. Countryside is quiet, but there's no shoulder in some curvy spots, and some drivers didn't want to wait to pass.
