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 yet you argue all my points that this isn't a good solution for us. I never said it wasn't good for elsewhere. I get the point and I'm on board with reducing driving- and trust me I do my part, but you are never going to get a busy tradesperson riding their cargo around in January. If a solution is only going to work when the weather is perfect it isn't going to convince anyone who has to actually haul around the stuff to switch and that's the biggest hurdle to jump.

I'm sure this would be great in lots of places where it isn't below zero for over half the year.
