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.

No. I probably should wear those padded crotch pants and clip-in shoes when I do distance but I'm low tech with biking. It's all about the journey.
Yeah, I just wear regular clothes and hiking shoes.
For my touring/gravel bike-packing set up, I usually wear bibs under a light-weight pair of shorts and shirt and trail-running shoes. For road bike, I go clipless with lightweight shorts/shirt. Usually we go 50mi or less on road rides, so I don't really feel like I need a chamois. I have SQ Labs saddles on my bikes. Since I switched, the bike-short padding basically became unnecessary.
Yeah, that's the one thing a pro biker friend gave me once, a very nice and very expensive bike seat. They look the same but makes a big difference
The padded pants are non-negotiable to me... I do use clip-ons but cold probably live without it.
