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.

comfort and cleanliness
nobody wants to wear stinky nasty rental helmet that fits like crap and ruins your hair.
Shower cap. Problem solved.
I mean, isn't it the same concern when you rent a go-kart, go skydiving, go zip lining, play on a team sport without your own equipment, etc.?
These helmets are cleaned quite often. Far more than what most people do with their own helmets. I'd argue that they are cleaner than most of the helmets people wear on a regular basis.
