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.

So that means huge percentage, close to 90% of riders riding this bicycle are a thief. Seems like an easy problem to solve. Issue certification cards which have the same serial as bicycle. Stop everyone riding it. If they don't have the card, off to jail. Problem would be solved practically over night.

Most of the bikes are probably resold to buyers who have no idea it's stolen goods

"This bike is stolen" "I bought it off someone, didn't know" "Who was it? What are their details?" Arrest that person. What's the issue?

Next guy says 'Nope, never seen this guy before in my life.' Or any of a hundred other excuses.

In reality though, most minor crimes today are solvable, no registration required. The issue is lack of motivation and/or resources on the part of the police

So, how many details do you need to give someone when you sell your bike that you didn't end up using as much as you thought?

How would people know which bikes requires so much information to sell or purchase?
