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.

By not public, trails are private because they belong to the state, you mean?

They aren't private usually, they're public, but maintained by volunteers.

I helped maintain a trail for a couple years back when ebikes were just starting to be a thing, and they absolutely tore up trails. We had to put up additional signs (from the very limited budget) just for ebikes.

Ah, got it. I don't go on tiny trails or dirtbiking trails.

Pretty much all hardpack or paved.

They're not public roads. That's the difference.

What aren't, specifically, and what is the difference of what?
