Goodbye Toronto's Bike Culture

I was in Perth West Australia way back in the 90's when the helmet law came in. People did really stop cycling overnight.

Helmet laws are an easy win for legislators wanting to look competent without addressing the underlying dangers stemming from allowing people to drive inconsiderately/dangerously with light punishments.

Car cultures externalise the damage they do and make it someone else's problem or responsibility to mitigate.

Can't see Britain and Europe introducing laws like this.

So tell me you fucking dick how my observations are invalidated?

As a child-immigrant to Australia living in mainly new suburbs filled with immigrants from all around the world how was my generation responsible for the racially bias policies of the previous 200 years?

And how is that related to legislators scoring cheap points on 'public safety' whilst doing nothing to change the habits of drivers?
