Cycling Fallacies

Basic Rules:

be constructive: there is no need of another internet space full of competition, negativity, rage etc.;
no bigotry, including racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia or xenophobia;
be empathic: empathy is more rebellious than a middle finger;
no porn and no gore: let’s keep this place easy to manage;
no ads / spamming / flooding, we don’t want to buy/consume your commodified ideas;
occasional self-promotion by active members is fine.
