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.

If you're going to stick with that one, I'll say your point is mostly irrelevant, we were talking about how fast bikes are actually going, not the law around it which everyone chooses to ignore.
But since we are stating mildly related facts I'm happy to join in saying valid points.
Bicycles can be used on public roads where the speed limit is above 15mph
