Did you really think a government would pass a helmet law with the intent of discouraging cycling? I can't believe I have to even explain that to you.
If all government action is so pure in heart, why have Australia and NZ not repealed their mandatory helmets laws now that the so called unintended consequences have become known and the determent to overall health is clear?
What was your opinion of former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford?
