I used to frequent a photography gear forum, and there was a lot of bashing and pumping of different gear. Sometimes the threads would get childish and start to degrade because of a few who insisted on stating erroneous information as fact. But then things started getting better because some people started asking for proof with statements.
So here to, if someone says bike 'A' folds to XX -XX - XX dimensions and bike 'B' folds to YY -YY - YY dimensions, well then back it up with a link to prove it.
Is someone writes that a certain bike has low quality parts. Back it up. Provide links with solid proof.
etc, etc, etc...
After a while (at that other forum) silly statements started to get less. People would post more useful positive statements and provide links that helped everyone learn a thing of two. No one would post silly info, because they knew they would get a number of members asking for them to provide links with solid proof.
