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 a strange, strange perspective.
I mean, yeah, in a casual group ride setting, this is cool.
But in a race? It makes no sense.
Many of the points about accessibility are completely valid. But mixing "parents carrying kids on a cargo bike" with competitive sport is just... odd.
Sure, make an e-bike category for the next Olympics. But don't mix e-bikes and analogue riders in the same race.
The article is actually advocating for segregated E-bike categories that more people could have a go at, since it would be more about technique and less about raw stamina.
Most races already aren't about raw stamina.
Yes, that's the way it should be, if it happens.
But the article jumps between too many things to be coherent.
