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.

Have you ever volunteered to help maintain local bike lanes? Does your city have a volunteer program? (pawb.social)

Sometimes I get sick of brambles on the local bike lane I use a ton, and take a pair of battery electric trimmers to cut back grasses and brambles that grow over the lanes. But I'm curious if cities have actual programs with access to better tools. Working on bike lanes is super satisfying, but I'd love to do it with a group.

Unauthorized trail maintenance<3

I often carry an axe and a branch saw in backpack to maintain my regular trails, it's a nice bit of dopamine you get from making that part of the trail run fast again 😁
