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.

What does "ride metal" mean?

They're referring to a steel frame ("steel is real" is kind of a popular phrase in cycling because people like how it rides).

As in steel vs. aluminium or carbon? People feel a difference?
