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.

Same as title, looking for the essential hi-vis gear. I don't plan on riding at night but sometimes you're out a bit too late.

No clue what's best for a scooter. But last time I checked, both bicycle stores and workware garment stores had some nice options. Something like this, and with workwear there's different looks and options available for every season:

But there's also basic safety jackets you can put on over your regular stuff for a few bucks. Just make sure the reflectors aren't fake.
